PowerShell – using PSDefaultParameterValues to make your life easier

Just a quick post to let you know that you can make your life easier (most of the times 😀 ) when for example using default paramaters for your PowerShell cmdlets. This is done by using $PSDefaultParameterValues which allows you to specify default parameters for parameters in your cmdlets. It will be available in session in which you are working in.

Example ?

 

$PSDefaultParameterValues.Add('Invoke-WebRequest:Proxy','http://comeproxy.server:80') 
$PSDefaultParameterValues.Add('Invoke-WebRequest:ProxyUseDefaultCredentials',$true)

 

Just remember that those settings will alive only in your current powershell session.
