PowerShell Tip: #2 – SharePoint PowerShell

I love using the ISE to make building your scripts easier and using F5 and F8 keys to help run your scripts.  But I need to use the ISE on SharePoint. No problem just add the snap-in.  But wait, the snap-in goes away when you close the ISE.  No problem just add the SharePoint snap-in to your profile.

PowerShell Tip: #1 – PowerShell Demo Scripts

Use ISE to make building your scripts easier.  You can run the script line by line or the entire script by using the F5 and F8 keys to help run your scripts.  If you don’t like the built-in ISE from your OS you can use a free add-on from Idera called PowerShell Plus.

But during demos you can accidently hit he wrong key, that is run the entire script that kills the demo.  So make sure to include a break at the top of the script
