The Microsoft Dynamics NAV product media includes a folder that has examples of how you can use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows PowerShell cmdlets to deploy and maintain your Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Sample Scripts
The sample Windows PowerShell scripts are available in the WindowsPowerShellScripts folder on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV product media.
You can copy the folder to your computer and use the scripts as a starting point for managing your own solution. Depending on your solution, you can then add the sample Windows PowerShell module into the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 Administration Shell and then run the scripts.
