I created a $profile for my servers.

e.ps1?

I type an “R” and it continues.

This all of a sudden started before it ran to completion

Any ideas?

Thank you

The path looks like a path from a share!? Usually a profile is saved on the computer on one of the locations you get when you run

$profile | Select-Object *

Thanks OLAF

How can I change it to point to my local users folder?

I ran this command

PS C:\util> new-item $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts -ItemType file -Force

Directory: \\our.network.tgcsnet.com\tgcsnetdfs\HomeDirectories\proxyadmin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name


-a---- 4/18/2020 11:23 PM 0 profile.ps1

It keeps placing it on a network share.

Any ideas?

Thanks Tom

Do you use roaming profiles folder redirection in your environment?

Did you actually try the suggestion in the message you’ve got?

Olaf

No roaming profiles are used here.

Which message do you mean?

how can I delete the $profile and start over? or how do I change it to a local path?

Olaf

I figured it out.

On my Documents settings in explorer I had the location the network path I changed it to c:\users\username

Then I was able to recreate the $profile and now it works with out error.

Thank you for your help

Tom

this can be marked a resolved.

I meant the warning message you’ve posted in your initial question. Quite often the solution comes with the error message. :wink:
