In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The Get-Credential cmdlet does not tell us whether the username and password are correct or not."

A block of code is set as follows:

$i=0
do
{

   $var = $set[$i]

}
while ($i -ge $Set.Count)

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

$i=0
do
{

$var = $set[$i]

}
while ($i -ge $Set.Count)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName "valid Office 365 work or school user name"

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "When creating the account, make sure you check the Password never expires setting."
