Powershell script and output

good day

i'm new on powershell script (linux user), inherited few windows machine , have windows shares googling around found script display users , last time folder accessed. run script no output

here script

get-childitem -recurse "c:\users\%profilename%\desktop\users.ps1"  | ?{ $_.psiscontainer } | select-object fullname,lastwritetime | out-file 'c:\users\%profilename%\desktop\test.log'

hi,

that's because %profilename% doesn't anything.

here's how use environment variables in powershell:

you don't need test on psiscontainer, use -directory switch of get-childitem.

lastly, not use single quotes if want use variable. single quotes not allow variables expand.
