In this module, we learned about adding and removing of PS drives.
We first saw what PS custom drives are and we saw two different types,
temporary and persistent drives.
We then went through a list of commands that are common and can be
used to manage data in all different providers.
Next, we created temporary and persistent PS drives in file system provider.
We mapped users download folder to a temporary drive and mapped a shared network
path to a persistent drive. We also saw how we can use PowerShell profiles to
create PS drives and map to a shared network path.
Next, we saw how we can create and map a PS drive to a
registry path and certificate store.
Lastly, we saw how we can remove PS drives.
We removed a couple of custom and building PS drives and we also saw how we
can remove multiple PS drives at once. Here, we also learned that some
drives like logical and physical drives and drives that are created using
powerful profiles cannot be removed.
Until now, we just went through basics of PS drives. In the next module,
we are going to have a deep look into managing registry
and certificate providers so stay tuned. See you in the next module.
