PowerShell - Cmdlets and Pipeline

What is the issue with this PowerShell pipeline command?

Get-Service | Where-Object Status -eq 'Running' | Sort-Object Name

AThe <code>Get-Service</code> cmdlet does not output objects with a Status property

BThe <code>Sort-Object</code> cmdlet cannot be used after <code>Where-Object</code>

CThe pipeline operator <code>|</code> is missing between commands

DThe <code>Where-Object</code> syntax is incorrect; it requires a script block

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Examine the Where-Object usage
The command uses Where-Object Status -eq 'Running', which is invalid syntax. Where-Object requires a script block like { $_.Status -eq 'Running' }.
Step 2: Validate other parts
The pipeline operator is correctly used, and Sort-Object can follow Where-Object. Also, Get-Service outputs objects with a Status property.
Final Answer:
The Where-Object syntax is incorrect; it requires a script block -> Option D
Quick Check:
Use script block with Where-Object [OK]

Quick Trick: Where-Object needs script block {} [OK]
