PowerTip: Create XML with PowerShell

Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to create XML.

 How can I use Windows PowerShell to easily create an XML representation of my service names and status?

 Use the Get-Service cmdlet to retrieve the service information, select the name and status properties,

          store the results in a variable:

$xml = Get-Service | select name, Status | ConvertTo-Xml
