Powershell apply verbosity at a global level
You could also do:
$global:VerbosePreference = 'continue'
Works better then PSDefaultParameters as it tolerates function not having Verbose param.
Use $PSDefaultParameterValues
:
$PSDefaultParameterValues['New-Item:Verbose'] = $true
Set that in the Global scope, and then the default value of -Verbose for the New-Item cmdlet will be $True.
You can use wildcards for the cmdletsyou want to affect:
$PSDefaultParameterValues['New-*:Verbose'] = $true
Will set it for all New-* cmdlets.
$PSDefaultParameterValues['*:Verbose'] = $true
will set it for all cmdlets.
