What it does

from the PowerShell reference, CC BY 4.0

Runs a command or expression as a Windows PowerShell Workflow. The Invoke-AsWorkflow workflow runs any command or expression as an inline script in a workflow. These workflows use the standard workflow semantics, have all workflow common parameters, and have all benefits of workflows, including the ability to stop, resume, and recover. Workflows are designed for long-running commands that collect critical data, but can be used to run any command. For more information, see about_Workflows. You can also add workflow common parameters to this command. For more information about workflow common parameters, see about_WorkflowCommonParameters This workflow is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
