Hi,

Relatively newbie here (some experience with PS).

With PowerShell storing it’s profile in the Documents\PowerShell or Documents\WindowsPowerShell AND  
my company redirecting the Documents folder to OneDrive for Business  
I end up with a spaces in my path to those folders;

C:\Users&lt;User\>\OneDrive - \<Company\>\Documenten\PowerShell\

This seems to present all kinds of issues trying to run .ps1 files from that folder.  
Any recommendations on how to best handle this situation ?

Thanks

ahh, interesting scenario. So I think you are getting error in loading the profile during the launch of PowerShell , is it ?
