powershell-3.0

My PowerShell profile is getting a bit cumbersome and I find that I don't always use everything in it. I want to reduce the size of my profile and speed up the startup time that's been getting slower and slower, but I still want to be able to access those functions relatively quickly when I need them. Is there a way to "Dot Source" a set of PowerShell Functions and Aliases from within a separate function such that the sourced functions will be available outside of that function call? As others have already pointed out, the proper way to go about this would be to put those extra functions into

I'm working on a script for use in Windows 7 and Windows 10 for a Windows Registry search in HKLM:\Software\Classes. So far my code works, but it's extremely slow. It takes about 30 minutes to complete. I need to use Set-Location also to avoid an error with Get-ItemProperty, which occurs because the $path is not a valid object. How can I speed this code up? What's wrong? File regsearch.ps1 ( Mathias R. Jessen's answer applied) Function Get-RegItems { Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$path, [string]$match) #Set Local Path and ignore wildcard (literalpath) Set-Location -literalpath

I want to run the .reg file (registry file) using PowerShell Script but I am not able to run it.

Below is the Content of my .reg file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SePI] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SePI

There's this powershell script which can set processes' priorities from "Idle" to "Realtime" but some tools offer another priority level which drops a process's priority even below: How to set that in Powershell? It is not clear to me whether the IO priority can be set. The SetProcessInformation() call takes a PROCESS_INFORMATION_CLASS as an argument and that only defines ProcessMemoryPriority. I was having problems with a powershell script getting run out of task manager with a memory priority of 2 which was killing me. I am new to the PInvoke stuff and using it from PowerShell so I've

I would like to change the creation date of the files that I generate with this script : $clientname = Read-Host "Enter the client name" $path = Read-Host "Enter the complete path of .bak files" $time = "01-00-00" $space = " " for ($i = 0; $i -lt 7;$i++) { $date = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1-$i).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd') New-Item -ItemType file $path$clientname$space$date$space$time.bak } So it gives me theses files : Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 16/08/2013 16:55 0 client 2013-08-15 01-00-00.bak -a--- 16/08/2013 16:55 0 client 2013-08-14 01-00-00.bak -a--- 16/08

This completes in 2.3 minutes on LOCALSERVER: A: measure-command {$x = invoke-command {gci -recurse "C:\"}} This completes in 38.4 minutes on LOCALSERVER: B: measure-command {$x = invoke-command -comp LOCALSERVER {gci -recurse "C:\"}} Why is B so much slower? Is it because the "output is being serialized to XML and then reconstituted into objects again", as explained here , with B but not A? Or is something else going on? LOCALSERVER runs Windows 2008R2 with PS v3. In both cases $x.count is 98973. I was wondering about changing an existing script to use PSRemoting for file searches on remote

Background Info : I have an application that makes several SQL connections to multiple databases which currently takes a very very long time to execute. Powershell (.NET) will wait for each proceeding " SQL-GET " function to finish before it can fire off the next. I am under the impression I can speed this app up dramatically by firing each " SQL-GET " function in their own background job simultaneously!I will then retrieve the data from each job as they finish. Ideally as a DataSet system object. The Issues : When retrieving the data from the background job, I can ONLY manage to get a System
