I started managing TFS and thus learning about Microsoft PowerShell. Update: 10/14/2015
How can I avoid Execution Error for a PowerShell script?Trying to run a PowerShell script will give me the Execution Policy error. In order to avoid this everytime, you create your profile in the following way:
Test-Path $profile
should return "False". Then do
New-Item -path $profile -type file -force
will create C:\Users\(username)\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1.
Now add the following to this file
Set-Executionpolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
Get-Executionpolicy Echo "Execution Policy Set"
Note that only Bypass option can be accepted in the profile. Other options like "Unrestricted" will cause error.
How can I associate .ps1 to PowerShell or PowerShell ISE?
1. Control Panel → Appearance and Personalization → Folder Options
2. Uncheck Hide extensions for known file type.
3. Now pick the profile you created above in Windows Explorer.
Right Click → Open With → Browse.
4. Go to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ and select either powershell.exe
or powershell_ise.exe. Make sure that you check "Always use the selected program to
open this kind of file".
If you picked powershell.exe, then clicking on *.ps1 will open PowerShell, run the script, and close.If you picked powershell_ise.exe, then clicking on *.ps1 will open the PowerShell ISE and put the script in the file pane. If you do both, then right-clicking on the *.ps1 will have options of either powershell or powershell_ise. |
