Powershell Helper Scripts

For tasks that are done often or rarely it can be useful to wrap up some quirky or verbose commands into shorter custom functions that are easier to remember.

Install

1. Download the folder and place it in your own module folder. $env:PSModulePath.split(';') will show you these locations.
2. Ensure that folder is named Helper

Because the module is in your known path, powershell can find the commands by name to automatically import as you type them.

Manual use

1. When needed, import the module with Import-module <PathToFolder>\helper.psd1
