My PowerShell Profile

It has been a while I last worked with PowerShell. I had my custom profile where I had my own prompt and some other customizations. Now I cannot find it anymore. I’ll start with the new one and I am saving it on my blog, so it will be easier to find in future: [code language=“powershell”] Function Prompt { $PromptData=“PS $($executionContext.SessionState.Path.CurrentLocation)$(’>’ * ($nestedPromptLevel + 1)) " $host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle=$PromptData +’-’+(Get-Date).tostring() # .Link# http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=225750 # .ExternalHelp System.Management.Automation.dll-help.xml } [/code] The prompt function comes from the scripting guy blog. To customize your profile, just open it in a text editor (in my case: code) [code language=“powershell”] code $profile [/code] Update 2018-04-10 You can also include these lines: [code language=“powershell”] $path1 = “C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\” $path2 = “15” Add-Type -Path “$path1\$path2\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll” Add-Type -Path “$path1\$path2\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll” [/code] VS Code Now we can run VS Code to create ps1 scripts and run selections as we did it in PowerShell ISE.

You should add the screenshot of how it will look like afterwards like on the Scripting Guy’s blog post.

Thanks, will do that.
