env-config-scripts

A set of PowerShell scripts to backup and restore environment settings (configuration files, registry).

Usage

After installing, excecute the following powershell commands:

• Env-Conf-Backup
• Env-Conf-Restore

Installing

0. Verify you have PowerShell 2.0 or better with $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

1. Verify execution of scripts is allowed with Get-ExecutionPolicy (should be RemoteSigned or Unrestricted). If scripts are not enabled, run PowerShell as Administrator and call Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Confirm.

2. Clone the env-config-scripts repository to your local machine.

3. From the env-config-scripts repository directory, run .\install.ps1

Configuration

1. create/modify profile env-conf_profile.ps1 at powershell $profile\env-conf folder eg:

• Windows 8.1 C:\Users\<username>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\env-conf\env-conf_profile.ps1

2. Add/replace the variable $env_conf_backupPath with your preferred backup place eg:

• $env_conf_backupPath = "C:\Users\<username>\Repos\Environment.Settings\"
• $env_conf_backupPath = "C:\Users\<username>\Skydrive\Environment.Settings\"

3. add custom (global/user) modules to your setup. In your env-config-scripts repository on your local machine you'll find a folder sample-modules. Copy needed 'modules' to the folder C:\Users\<username>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\env-conf\env-conf\modules\, or create your own 'module' extensions and send a pull request.
