dbatools does not create config file when run noninteractively

[DarenDaigle]

Verified issue does not already exist?

I have searched and found no existing issue

What error did you receive?

No, error, other than the continued message that I may configure the message settings.

I am running as a domain account in task scheduler and am not blocking profile loading.

Steps to Reproduce

Set-DbatoolsConfig -FullName sql.connection.trustcert -Value $true -Register
Set-DbatoolsConfig -FullName sql.connection.encrypt -Value $false -Register 
Set-DbatoolsConfig -Name Import.EncryptionMessageCheck -Value $false -PassThru | Register-DbatoolsConfig

What are you expecting? The config is written to the registry, not a file. The target is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsPowerShell\dbatools\Config\Default

You can use Set-DbatoolsConfig -FullName <...> -Value <...> -PassThru | Register-DbatoolsConfig -Scope SystemDefault to set it in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPowerShell\dbatools\Config\Default But you have to update dbatools to get this working because of a bug that was fixed recently.

Will close this now, but can reopen if needed.
