Write-Host -NoNewline -Object 'Press any key to return to the main menu. In my case i am calling the Menu function on line 5 so that when a user presses a key it will revert to the script menu. You can edit the text in the quotes on line 3 to suite your use case. I’m piping the command to Out-Null because I don’t care what the user enters, only that they hit a key. I use then when using a PowerShell Menu (See more about that here). But if you truly need the user to acknowledge that the script has finished you can use Read-Host. To get around this I use the following PowerShell Function to insert a “Press any key to continue.” break point that will wait for the user to…you guessed it…press the any key! 🙂 This is especially useful when using a menu based script (see here) where the script will revert back to the menu once an operation is complete making it difficult to see the status of an operation when it completes or any Write-Host messages that may have been displayed. When I telnet to port 25 on the server from the server, the SMTP service. Got a 2k3 server with MS SMTP service, acting as a limited mail relay. From time to time it is nice to have a “Press any key to continue.” break point in a script to allow the user to review the status of an operation or just to add a user interaction to acknowledge the completion of an operation. Hopefully this is an easy question but I'm stumped.
