I am using PowerShell ISE (I think 4).
I am writing logon scripts to replace the old '*.BAT' files.
I am trying to test for a user-profile condition before 'creating/deleting' certain directories from the desktop.
If(($env:userprofile = "rmullins"))
{
Remove-Item $env:userprofile\Desktop\ITFILES -Recurse -Force
}
So I run the following to see what's going on:
md -Path $env:userprofile\Desktop\ITFILES
The path is created in the following location: C:\Windows\System32.........
The MD command above works fine until I run that 'IF' statement. I think I might not understand how the $env:userprofile
part works.
Any ideas?
On Windows 7:
[PS]> echo $ENV:UserProfile
C:\Users\arco444
This returns the path to the profile directory. Therefore I'd expect looking only for the username to fail the condition. I'd do a simple match instead:
if ($env:userprofile -imatch "rmullins")
{
Remove-Item $env:userprofile\Desktop\ITFILES -Recurse -Force
}
