Question

I am implementing a script in powershell and getting the below error  The sceen shot is there exactly what I entered and the resulting error    At this path there is file Get-NetworkStatistics ps1 which I got from here  I am following the steps from it  though there are errors

You first have to  dot  source the script  so for you        Get-NetworkStatistics ps1   The first  dot  asks PowerShell to load the script file into your PowerShell environment  not to start it  You should also use set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted or set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned see the Execution Policy instructions

For the benefit of searchers  there is another way you can produce this error message - by missing the   off the script block name when calling it    e g  I had a script block like so    qa         param  question   answer      Write-Host  Question    question  Answer    answer      I tried calling it using    amp qa -question  Do you like powershell   -answer  Yes     But that errored  The correct way was    amp  qa -question  Do you like powershell   -answer  Yes

Yet another way this error message can occur     If PowerShell is open in a directory other than the target file  e g    If someScript ps1 is located here  C  SlowLearner some missing path someScript ps1  then C  SlowLearner gt     someScript ps1 wont work    In that case  navigate to the path  cd some missing path then this would work   C  SlowLearner some missing path gt     someScript ps1
