PowerShell cmdlets and functions obviously help us get a lot done, and most commands offer a number of parameters to customize what needs to be done. Unless you love typing, you probably would like an even easier way to use PowerShell. Let me show you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here's a command that I use often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume.png 828w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume-768x322.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I don't usually care about anything other my fixed drives, C and D.  Get-Volume makes that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"227\" src=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume2.png 969w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume2-300x70.png 300w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume2-768x180.png 768w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume2-850x199.png 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I'm lazy. Even with tab-completion I need to remember to use these parameters. Why not make them the default? That's where $PSDefaultParameterValues comes into the picture. This is an automatic variable that is a hashtable. The key takes the form \"command:parameter\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"powershell\" class=\"language-powershell\">$PSDefaultParameterValues.add(\"Get-Volume:driveletter\",@(\"c\",\"d\"))<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, you can use wildcards. Here's a setting I use so that all ActiveDirectory commands automatically connect to DOM1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"powershell\" class=\"language-powershell\">$PSDefaultParameterValues.Add(\"*-AD*:Server\",\u00a0\"DOM1\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I don't specify the parameter and a different value, PowerShell will use this default. Now, Get-Volume is even easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"842\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume3.png 842w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume3-300x85.png 300w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/get-volume3-768x218.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I put the command in my PowerShell profile script and I don't have to worry about it.
