PowerShell - Automation Patterns

Identify the issue in this PowerShell script snippet:

$services = Get-Service | Where-Object { Status -eq 'Stopped' }; $services | Export-Csv -Path 'stopped.csv' -NoTypeInformation

AThe script uses 'Status' without the pipeline variable '$_' inside Where-Object

BExport-Csv cannot export service objects

CThe file path 'stopped.csv' is invalid without a full path

DNo error; the script runs correctly

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check Where-Object syntax
Inside script blocks, properties must be referenced as $_.Property.
Step 2: Identify error
Using 'Status' alone causes an undefined variable error.
Final Answer:
The script uses 'Status' without the pipeline variable '$_' inside Where-Object -> Option A
Quick Check:
Use $_.Status in Where-Object filters [OK]

Quick Trick: Use $_.Property inside Where-Object script blocks [OK]
