Can you please post the actual error message and possibly the (sanitized) code you are trying to run?

well the scripts work I use them all the time so what I do to work around them is to put it on a flash drive and use it from there and it works. just annoying for me to have to do that every time I add a new user. I added the attachment below.

Hm does it list it when you run ‘Get-PSDrive’ ?

when I use Get-psdrive I noticed that the old server is still listed as the H:drive and I: drive is there a way to remedy this?

Hi maybe h is a network drive mapping on your profile and you are running the powershell as admin or different user? If so change the network drives on the correct user
Best,

You can remove the old psdrive for the old server (H:) by using:

Remove-PSDrive -Name

Are you sure that the “old server” does not have a network mapped drive on your system? As powershell will detect drives that are added or removed in Windows, including network mapped drives, USB drives that are attached, and drives that are deleted by using either the net use command

Thank you everyone for the advice I was able to fix the problem. just had to remove psdrive and add new ones with the correct path. really appreciate it.
