Short description
Gets a random number, or selects objects randomly from a collection.

Syntax


Description
The Get-Random cmdlet gets a randomly selected number. If you submit a collection of objects to Get-Random, it gets
 one or more randomly selected objects from the collection. 

Without parameters or input, a Get-Random command returns a randomly selected 32-bit unsigned integer between 0 (ze
ro) and Int32.MaxValue (0x7FFFFFFF, 2,147,483,647).

You can use the parameters of Get-Random to specify a seed number, minimum and maximum values, and the number of ob
jects returned from a submitted collection.
