I want to place a script and all supporting files in a subfolder and then loop through each subfolder and call run.ps1. This is what I presently do with CMD files, that way when I no longer need a module we just delete the folder. Similarly if I need to add a module I just drop in a new folder. I don’t want to edit the calling script, if I can avoid it.

Here’s what I have:

$list = Get-ChildItem C:\APPS\SCRIPTS -exclude maintenance.ps1 | Sort-Object Name

foreach ($i in $list)
{
Write-Host “Processing ” $i”…”
$sScript = [STRING]$i + “\run.ps1″
# this line works
.{c:\apps\scripts00_Critical\run.ps1}
# this line doesn’t work
.{$sScript}
}

I wanted to know how to call powershell functions that I wrote asynchronously?
any ideas?

Is it possible to call a dot source file from a UNC?

As a test, I created the function file below with a simple get-mailbox shortcut called getMB.

Then created a script called test.ps1 which looks as follows:

Param($lanid)
. C:\MYScripts\Functions.ps1
getmb $lanid

Putting the Param before the dot source call works perfectly. I ran .\Test -lanid dude123 and it returned the proper results.

So, If I wanted to pass a parameter into a script (I.E. .\test.ps1 -lanid dude123) how would I be able to use that and still dot source my functions?

. C:\MyScripts\Functions.ps1
Param($lanid)

and thatnks for trying to explain to the author.
