Question

I would like to be able to start scripts on my network share without specifying the full path.

For example myscript.ps1 would run \\myserver\share\folder\folder2\myscript.ps1

I tried to add $env:Path += ";\\myserver\share\folder\" to my profile.ps1 but that didn’t work (I’ve confirmed that my profile.ps1 has been loaded).

What am I doing wrong? And am I even on the right path (pun intended..)?

Answer 1

Is possible to add UNC path in $env:path in the way you have done.

But in your example you add

$env:Path += ";\\myserver\share\folder\"

but you’re trying execute a ps1 in

\\myserver\share\folder\folder2\

that’s why doesn’t work!

You need to add the full path where your ps1 file is!

$env:Path += ";\\myserver\share\folder\folder2"

Path values aren’t recursive.
