The New-Item cmdlet is used to create a new item of type file in the location specified by the Path
parameter, in this case $profile . Windows PowerShell provides the automatic variable $profile ,
which always points to the path for the current user profile file. This makes it easy to create and edit the
profile file because this variable is always set according to the current user context. The new file is
opened for editing by invoking Notepad followed by the path to the profile file, again provided by the
$profile variable.
To add function, alias, and variable definitions to the profile file, simply add them as if you were
entering them from the command line. The following example adds the function definition from a
previous example, an alias definition, and a variable definition:
#Administrator??™s current user profile
#updated 07-12-07: added variable definition
#Functions
Function get-mailbox2
{
param($name)
Get-Mailbox $name | Format-List Name, Database, OrganizationalUnit
}
#Aliases
Set-Alias getmbx Get-Mailbox
#Variables
$mb001 = (Get-ExchangeServer MB001)
Use the pound character ( # ) to add comments to your profile file and keep it organized.
