QAD cmdlets FAQ
To load QAD cmdlets for one particular script:
Add this line in the beginning of the script:
Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement -ErrorAction Stop
To make QAD cmdlets available for all your scripts on a particular computer:
Open your PowerShell profile (for example, by starting PowerGUI Script Editor and selecting File / Open Current User Profile). Add this line to the profile code:
Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement -ErrorAction Stop
PS. Original Quest article was recommending -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue but I cannot agree with such.

The term 'Set-AzureKeyVaultKeyAttributes' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,

On my Windows 10 I've Powershell 5.0 installed. But when I run the following command on it, I get the above error.
PS command:
Set-AzureKeyVaultKeyAttributes -Name Key2 -VaultName KayVault-abctest -Enable $false
Error

Note
I'm using the topic Create a Key (Portal) in this official Azure lab tutorial.
I believe the name of the cmdlet should be the singular Set-AzureKeyVaultKeyAttribute, rather than the plural Set-AzureKeyVaultKeyAttributes. Note that this is one of the Strongly Encouraged Development Guidelines for Powershell by Microsoft:
To enhance the user experience, the noun that you choose for a cmdlet name should be singular. For example, use the name Get-Process instead of Get-Processes. It is best to follow this rule for all cmdlet names, even when a cmdlet is likely to act upon more than one item.
If you are still seeing the same problem while using a singular name, ensure that the AzureRM.KeyVault module is installed and loaded:
Install-Module AzureRM.KeyVault
Import-Module AzureRM.KeyVault

Set the font type and size using the command prompt (or batch file)

I tried the solution given from: Specify the size of command prompt when executing a batch file
I ran:
powershell -command "&{set-executionpolicy remotesigned; Import-Module SetConsoleFont; Get-ConsoleFontInfo | Format-Table -AutoSize}"
But I get these errors, any ideas?
Set-ExecutionPolicy : Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell' is denied. At line:1 char:22 + &{set-executionpolicy <<<< remotesigned; Import-Module SetConsoleFont; Get-ConsoleFontInfo | Format-Table -AutoSize} + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-ExecutionPolicy], UnauthorizedAccessException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetExecutionPolicyCommand

I have put the file SetConsoleFont.psm1 in
C:\Users\Adrian\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SetConsoleFont
You say "You're not allowed to set the execution policy" well maybe I'm not, but it's my machine so why shouldn't I? I don't want to execute these commands as Administrator, just as a user, me (Adrian)
Another comment was to try set-executionpolicy bypass process
so I tried:
powershell -command "&{set-executionpolicy bypass process; set-executionpolicy remotesigned; Import-Module SetConsoleFont; Get-ConsoleFontInfo | Format-Table -AutoSize}"
But got even more red errors.
I have no idea what powershell is or how to use it, I just want to change the font from a batch file without hassle!
Try set-executionpolicy bypass process instead.
Also make sure you have put the module in a module path folder such as:
[yourprofile]\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules
I managed to get it working but only in a PowerShell console, and I had to run it as Administrator. However this is not practical for me for the following reasons:
I wish to change the font of new window seamlessly from a batch file, which will be run by users of the software. They may not have Administrator access and so cannot execute "set-executionpolicy remotesigned" which I needed to do to get it working.
Also this has to be done in a DOS batch file, so opening up a powershell window is not an option. It only works in a PowerShell window and not with the DOS "powershell -command" option.
So a partial answer.
If you want to change Execution Policy, it should be done in an elevated prompt.
And loading the module can be done by giving absolute path. Example is below.
Import-Module c:\users\testuser\desktop\SetConsoleFont.psm1 -Verbose
and we can bypass execution policy like below.
powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -command "${<your code>}"
Edit: The imported module will be available only in the scope of the script block.
here it is with in {}. So whatever cmdlets and functions in side the module should be executed in sided the scriptblock.

Powershell Runbook - The term 'Get-AzureRMWebAppSlot' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

I'm trying to switch connection strings of a website to perform DB Failover, as part of HighAvailability. Please suggest if there are any suitable workarounds for the current requirement.
However, the same script which ran on my local machine is not executing while in the Azure portal as a PowerShell Workflow Runbook.
Powershell Code:

Import-Module stops working sporadically

I have a problem where Import-Module -Name "./MyAssembly.dll" stops working sporadically. If I restart the computer, everything seems to work as normal for a while, but it's getting really frustrating.
The reason for importing the same module (in different Powershell sessions) is because I'm currently writing a cmdlet using C#, and I start a powershell instance as part of debugging the cmdlet.
The Import-Module command gives me no feedback whatsoever of whether or not the loading succeeded.
PS C:\Source\MyProject> Import-Module -Name "./MyAssembly.dll"
PS C:\Source\MyProject> Get-Stuffz

Running VMWare powerCLI commands with SoapUI

I have a powershell script file with PowerCLI commands like Connect-VIServer etc. I am able to run the script file in PowerGUI after I added the library references to VMWare PowerCLI but I don't know how to run it through SoapUI. I'm guessing it won't work with the regular Powershell CLI either. Is there any way to make this work? Here's the error, if it helps:
The term 'Connect-VIServer' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function
, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a pat

try calling this in the beginning of the script:
Add-PSSnapin "VMware.VimAutomation.Core" | Out-Null
You cannot execute PowerCLI commands outside of a Powershell host.
To add the snap-in to any Powershell host, use the command Tomas mentioned:
Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
