It is the best scripting tool ever made for windows environmenent. The most prefer powershell, however it does not support few native windows server administration command, hence we can not completely ignore CMD.

Powershell would be the more advanced shell scripting environments as instead of writing routine and commonly used script lines from scratch you will only require calling a commandlet from a related module. Modules are a set of commandlets that perform tasks for specific roles such as Active Directory and Exchange. These commandlets are like shortcuts that can perform multiple tasks or can provide multiple options to perform a specific task. Commandlets are also customizable.

Powershell is preferred over cmd. You can have all the cmd commands in powershell plus extras. It is based on OOPS concept. Also you can write better scripts using PowerShell
