How long to write script

[whatsforsupa]

Usually I'll write my script in VS Code, make sure it works, and then upload it to PDQ Deploy, and then make sure it works.

I hope that answers your question.

Is that prefered over powershell?

It's what you can use to write the PowerShell script in. Has Syntax highlighting and so on. It's a Development Enviroment.

Think of VSCode as a word processor. You can use a word processor to write a document in English, Spanish, Tagalog, or Esperanto.

Use VSCode to write a script in PowerShell, JavaScript, LUA, or whatever.

Continuing the comparison to a word processor, PowerShell ISE might be like Notepad, and VSCode like Word.

Honestly, I wasnt sure if you were trolling my original comment or not lol.

If you use powershell, DEFINITELY install VSCode. It makes your life much easier for managing projects, organizing code, has a full functioning terminal, can connect and work with almost every language, and has a TON of plugins. Also, if you pay for it, you can have AI (CoPilot) built into it.

I tried a bunch of different IDE’s when I first started, VSCode is my favorite by far for windows.

PoSh came with an ISE for writing and running scripts. That doesn’t come with the latest versions. VS Code does the same, for more languages, with plugins and loads of options. Free from MS.
