I have had to fix a couple of recent posts because the PowerShell scripts failed to work as I thought they would. Which is weird, because I test them before releasing them. What I had not noticed is that you can set a variable in ISE that will be remembered through the session. An example is a problem I had with the second version of Get-ComputerDN.ps1. A co-worker downloaded it and told me that the ping function (not optional in the newest version) wasn’t working. This was odd, because I had tested it myself.
Running it through the debugger, I found that I had a variable in a prior version that I failed to set in the new version. But because it had been set in the original, I failed to notice that it did not work before posting. There are scripts floating around on the Net to clear the variables, but my practice is going to be close the ISE and reopen to test before publishing.
If you do find something that doesn’t work, drop me a note so I can fix it. My email address is in all my scripts.
