Oh, you have to escape it.

[dbeato]

This is a small sample I did and it worked:

[scottalanmiller]

Are you sure that the filename exists?

[dbeato]

Better example:

[Lakshmana]

@scottalanmiller said in Powershell Default User:

Are you sure that the filename exists?

The files exists inside that folder and before doing this i have mentioned as in .bat but that has to runned in the all the machine means it should get the current user details so only asked for the same which is not working when tried to execute in the powershell

So are you running this via a task or when the user logs in?
