NAME

Import-Alias

SYNOPSIS

Imports an alias list from a file.

SYNTAX

Import-Alias [-Path] [-Confirm] [-Force] [-PassThru] [-Scope ] [-WhatIf] []

DESCRIPTION

The Import-Alias cmdlet imports an alias list from a file.

Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, as a security feature, Import-Alias does not overwrite existing aliases by

default. To overwrite an existing alias, after assuring that the contents of the alias file is safe, use the Force parameter.

Allows the cmdlet to import an alias that is already defined or is read only. You can use the following
