set-alias get-eventlog

PowerShell Help
1

Hello,

This is my first post so please be understanding with this simple question from a novice.

I was testing the set-alias commandlet, and think I’ve now screwed up a commandlet which doesn’t work with either the full commandlet name or the alias I tried to assign it.

I ran the following:

set-alias get-eventlog el

I think that I should have written this:

set-alias el get-eventlog

Is that correct?

Unfortunately, I can not run get-eventlog anymore. How can I reset get-eventlog?

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Regards, Darren

It should be enough when you start a new console window. Aliasses will not be saved automaticly.

Thank you Olaf for the quick response.

I suppose my next question is - how do I create an alias that will persist?

You could use a Powershell profile.

Get-Help about_profiles

I’d rather use tab completion instead of a lot of aliasses or abbreviations.
