Set Path Variable with PowerShell
Hi All,
While upgrading my PowerShell Module from the PowerShell Gallery, i’ve got a Warning in PowerShell7 that the Path for the Scripts is missing in my Path Variable. In PowerShell 5.1 it worked already fine.
- PowerShellGallery Get-Mailprotection
Uninstall-PSResource -Name Get-Mailprotection -Scope CurrentUser
Install-PSResource -Name Get-Mailprotection -Scope CurrentUser
The Path Variable can be found in the System Properties > “Environment Variables”
As you can see there are “User Variables” and “System Variables”
Let’s list the Path Variable with PowerShell
#Get Path User Variables
[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User) -split ";"
#Get Path System Variables
[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine) -split ";"
Update the Path Variable un the Users Variables
#Get Path Variable from Current User
$ArrayPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User) -split ";"
#Add Path
$AddPath = "C:\Users\a.bohren\OneDrive - Icewolf\Dokumente\PowerShell\Scripts"
$ArrayPath += $AddPath
#Remove Empty Lines
$NewArrayPath = ($ArrayPath -split ";" | where {$_ -ne ""}) -join ";"
#Set Path Variable from Current User
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $NewArrayPath, [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
#Get Path User Variables
[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User) -split ";"
Some of you might know the $Env:Path - this will give you all the Path Variables from User and System combined
$env:Path -split ";"
Now the Script can be executed
Get-Mailprotection -Domain icewolf.ch
