I Need a PSDrive Now!

Posted on September 24, 2021September 24, 2021

I hope you’ve been enjoying the last few posts on working with PSDrives. To round out the set, I thought I’d remind you of a command in the PSScriptTools module that I use often, especially when teaching a live class or presenting at a conference. As you’ve seen, I use PSDrives as shortcuts to commonly…

Extending PowerShell PSDrives

Posted on September 23, 2021September 23, 2021

Yesterday I shared some PowerShell code I use to managing my PSDrive assignments. My code works for me in my environment. But that doesn’t mean it is necessarily right for you and your environment. There are plenty of ways to use PowerShell to achieve the same results as my code. This is something you should…

New-PSDriveHere

Posted on August 30, 2010August 30, 2010

I spend a lot of time, as you might expect, at a PowerShell prompt. Especially when training, presenting or doing demonstrations. Very often I’m in a folder with a long path like PS C:\users\jeff\Documents\Enterprise Mgmt Webinar. That takes up a lot of screen real estate and can be distracting. What I often will do is…
