PowerShell profiles is the “stuff” that gets loaded each time you use PowerShell. They can load your favorite Exchange management scripts, define the aliases you need, or just give you a nice welcome message.
How do you create a profile? How do you find which ones have already been created on your computer and are already affecting the execution?
The easy way is just using the File / Open PowerShell Profile menu in PowerGUI – see the screenshot below.
The menu allows you to see/edit the profiles already present on your computer, and create a profile if it is not there yet.
Global profiles apply to all users so you’ll need to run PowerGUI as local administrator to be able to create or modify a global profile.
You can read more about PowerShell profiles in MSDN.
