Stop PowerShell script on first error with try-catch blocks and exit statements.
📋 Table of Contents
To stop a PowerShell script on the first error, you can utilize the `Exit` cmdlet with the `$LASTEXITCODE` variable. This will allow your script to exit immediately after encountering an error.
⚠️ Common Causes
- The issue is often due to the use of non-PowerShell commands or external programs within the script, which can cause errors and prevent the script from exiting cleanly.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fixes

- Step 1: Wrap your PowerShell commands in a try-catch block to catch any errors.
Method 2: Using Exit and Error Variables
- Step 1: Use the `$Error` variable to store error messages, then use `Exit` with the `$LASTEXITCODE` variable to exit the script on failure.
✨ Wrapping Up
By implementing one of these methods, you can ensure that your PowerShell script exits cleanly and provides meaningful error messages when encountering issues.
