What Is a Switch Parameter?
A switch parameter is a parameter used with a cmdlet that does not take a value (or that is Boolean in nature and can be set to a false setting). The fact that the switch parameter is present “switches on” that option (true setting) when executing the cmdlet.
Most of the time, switch parameters are optional, but in some cases, you need to provide a switch. This depends on the cmdlet being executed.
