# Requires -Version 3.0 <# .SYNOPSIS ProfilePal Module contains functions that help create and edit PowerShell profiles, as well as some other functions which can easily be re-used across all PowerShell profiles .DESCRIPTION ProfilePal Module provides helpful functions for customizing PowerShell profiles, and includes a couple 'bonus' functions for making PowerShell a bit easier to work with. Intended to help new(er) PowerShell users more quickly discover the value of managing and customizing their own PowerShell Profile. Functions: Get-Profile - Enumerates basic info of common PowerShell Profiles New-Profile - Creates PowerShell Profiles, and customizes the console, with tips to get more familiar about managing one's own profile customizations and preferences Edit-Profile - Opens a specified PowerShell profile in the PowerShell_ISE, for editing Suspend-Profile - Suspends an active PowerShell profile by renaming (appending) the filename. Helpful with testing or troubleshooting changes or potential conflicts between profiles. To reload a PowerShell session without the suspended profile, exit and restart the pertinent PowerShell host. Resume-Profile - Resumes an suspended PowerShell profile, to be active in the next PowerShell session, by restoring a profile script file renamed by Suspend-Profile. Reset-Profile - Simply reloads the current profile script (`. $Profile`), but 'reload' is not an approved PowerShell verb, so we call it Reset. Get-UserName - Returns active user's account info in the format of DOMAIN\AccountName prompt - Overrides the default prompt, removing the pwd/path element, and conditionally adds an [ADMIN] indicator, in place of the default Administrator string in the window title bar. Customizing prompt is explained in detail in the PowerShell help file about_Prompts (try `get-help about_Prompts`) Get-WindowTitle - Stores active $host window title, in support of Set-WindowTitle and Reset-WindowTitle functions Set-WindowTitle - Customizes PS $host window title, to show version, starting path, and start date/time Reset-WindowTitle - Restores default PowerShell host window title, as captured by Get-WindowTitle Start-RemoteDesktop - Launch a Windows Remote Desktop admin session to a specified computername, with either FullScreen, or sized window Open-AdminConsole - Launch a new console window from the command line, with elevated (admin) permissions Test-Port - Effectively a PowerShell native-alternative / replacement for telnet, for testing IP port(s) of a remote computer .NOTES File Name : ProfilePal.psm1 Author : Bryan Dady Link Note : Some functions originally inspired by zerrouki Thanks zerrouki for the inspiration! http://www.zerrouki.com/powershell-profile-example/ .LINK http://bryan.dady.us/profilepal/ https://github.com/bcdady/profilepal #> # Define script scope variables we might need later [Boolean]$FrameTitleDefault [String]$defaultFrameTitle function Get-WindowTitle { <# .SYNOPSIS Stores the default PowerShell host window title .DESCRIPTION Supports Set-WindowTitle and Reset-WindowTitle functions #> if ($FrameTitleDefault) { $defaultFrameTitle = $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle } $FrameTitleDefault = $true } function Set-WindowTitle { <# .SYNOPSIS Customizes Host window title, to show version, starting path, and start date/time.
