I have installed a WebServer 2008 R2 Core version and I'm trying to configure it to be remotely managed from another server in the domain I need to import the WebAdministration module According to the steps exposed in this article
http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-iis-7/install-and-configure-iis-on-server-core
using the Import-module WebAdministration it gives me the specified module 'WebAdministration' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directoryAt line1 char 14. I executed the command Get-Module -ListAvailable and returned 4 module types
BestPractices, BitsTrabsfer, PSDiagnostics and ServeManager
I read the other threads about the issue none of them is consistent and proposes a good solution to that. BTW is there a way to let the server download the requested modules form microsoft repository if not found. Any consistent proposal to solve this will be appreciated
Is the IIS PowerShell Snap-In installed? If not, you can download the 32-Bit version or the 64-Bit version. After you run the MSI (using msiexec /i, since this is core), the snap-in should be registered and can be invoked via import-module or
& "$env:programfiles\IIS\PowerShellSnapin\iisConsole.psc1"
On Windows 7 I installed Web Platform Installer from
https://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/
On the start menu search for "web" to make the app visible.
Then using Web Platform Installer ... Install IIS: Management Scripts and Tools
Make sure that the IIS is installed and configured properly

When I run a powershell script, I get the following warning:
WARNING: Multiple variants of AWS Tools for PowerShell (AWSPowerShell,
AWSPowerShell.NetCore or AWS.Tools) are currently installed. Please
run 'Get-Module -Name
AWSPowerShell,AWSPowerShell.NetCore,AWS.Tools.Common -ListAvailable'
for details. To avoid problems with cmdlet auto-importing, it is
suggested to only install one variant. AWS.Tools is the new
modularized version of AWS Tools for PowerShell, compatible with
PowerShell Core 6+ and Windows Powershell 5.1+ (when .NET Framework
4.7.2+ is installed). AWSPowerShell.NetCore is the monolithic variant that supports all AWS services in a single large module, it is
compatible with PowerShell Core 6+ and Windows Powershell 3+ (when
.NET Framework 4.7.2+ is installed). AWSPowerShell is the legacy
module for older systems which are either running Windows PowerShell 2
or cannot be updated to .NET Framework 4.7.2 (or newer).
Screenshot:
How do I fix the warning? Do I uninstall one or 2 of these modules? Which ones?
Going purely by the error message:
How do I fix the warning?
You ensure that only one of the three listed module (groups) is installed:
Modern, modular group of related modules:
AWS.Tools.*, core module is AWS.Tools.Common, installation-helper module is AWS.Tools.Installer
Legacy modules (monolithic):
AWSPowerShell
AWSPowerShell.NetCore
Do I uninstall one or 2 of these modules? Which ones?
Yes. Which ones to uninstall and thereby implicitly which one to keep depends on your needs and which powershell version you have:
(a) If you're running Windows PowerShell 5.1 and have .NET Framework 4.7.2+ installed, or you're running PowerShell (Core), keep the AWS.Tools.* modules.
(b) If you're still running Windows PowerShell 3 or 4, and have .NET Framework 4.7.2+ or higher installed, keep the AWSPowerShell.NetCore module.
(c) If you're still running Windows PowerShell 2 or a higher version, but cannot install .NET Framework 4.7.2+, keep the legacy AWSPowerShell module.
For instance, to go with (a):
Note
To be safe, run with elevation (as admin), so that removal of modules that were installed in the AllUser scope can be removed.
Any non-installed modules among the specified ones are quietly ignored.
Start a new PowerShell session afterwards (modules already imported in the current session remain in memory, even after uninstallation; however, you can also remove them individually from memory with Remove-Module).
Get-Module -ListAvailable AWSPowerShell, AWSPowerShell.NetCore |
Uninstall-Module -Force
I have a module that runs on a Windows 2016 server that requires the ServerManager module. However, ServerManager is not available. There are many examples of installing this for Windows 10 using the Remote Server Admin package but that's only for Windows 10. Hammer Software has a good article on adding features and roles in 2016 but it doesn't say specifically which role will add the ServerManager module to the global environment. There are a gajillion roles and features and I added a few but can't seem to get the ServerManager module into my global environment.
I've read older things (such as this SOF question) that suggest ServerManager is 32 bit and won't autoload for module dependencies. Microsoft still documents it for Server 2012 but doesn't say specifically how to install and use it on Server 2016.
Now I'm totally confused. My module requires ServerManager but how do I get that installed/loaded? If I import the module manually it will work, i.e.:
PS F:\> import-module C:\Windows\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\ServerManager\ServerManager.psd1
But I need this to load automatically based on my module RequiredModules directive.
To use the Server Manager module, you need to install/enable that RSAT feature. The Server Manager and its PS module are part of that collection.
I need to install PSReadline module in an offline computer
with
Windows 7 SP1
and powershell 5.1
I have another computer that is connected to the internet.
Could you please explain how to download the relevant files
and how to install them on the offline computer?
If you download it to an online computer the module will be in one of your module paths - type:
$env:PSModulePath
...this will list all the possible paths, just search for the correct folder and copy it to the offline computer in one of its module paths. If there are any dependencies these will need to be copied also.
I just started writing scripts in PowerShell.
The desired script is supposed to create a local GroupPolicyObject (GPO) which will be specified afterwards. Research showed that it could be done with the New-GPO command within the GroupPolicy module for PowerShell. I tried to install the mentioned module but unfortunately nothing I found worked. May I ask for help?
I am using Windows 7 and Powershell 5.1.14409.1005
Error I receive when running example from Microsoft page (New-GPO -Name TestGPO -Comment "This is a test GPO."):
It is actually extremely simple, but the organization of the modules and features has changed many times in the past ten years, Microsoft Docs don't document the up-to-date way anywhere and all articles found online are very old.
Anyway, to install the Powershell Module called GroupPolicy, you need to install the Windows Feature called GPMC (Group Policy Management Console) which includes the mentioned module.
Install-WindowsFeature GPMC
This feature was once a subfeature of the RSAT feature, which is the cause of confusion.
Step 1. Install RSAT from Microsoft site:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=7887
Step 2. Enable Group Policy from Windows Features.
Following link describes the steps in details:

Have you installed the RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) Group Policy component?
Trying to set up my VSTS windows build agent to accommodate for powershell steps within VSTS but having some problems. Initially it reported that the AzurePS system capability was not present, so I made sure to install the latest Azure modules via the powershell gallery. Now, the AzurePS capability is present but certain powershell commands do not seem to work.
This may not be related to VSTS at all but rather just a configuration issue with my specific powershell installation / configuration. The full error is as follows:
The term 'Select-AzureRMSubscription' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
This error can be seen both in the VSTS release logs of the particular definition I am trying to execute, as well as when attempting to run the Select-AzureRMSubscription command directly on the box itself.
According to This MS Docs for Get-AzSubscription it's located in the module Az.Accounts.
So I had to run:
Install-module Az -AllowClobber -Force
Import-module Az
to make the command avaliable to me.
For me, updating the AzureRM module did the trick:
Update-Module -Name AzureRM
Depending on your system, you may get some messages while installing
Powershell requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to
interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet provider must be
available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'
or
'C:\Users\<...>\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'.
You can also install the NuGet provider by running
Install-PackagePovider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'.
Do you want PowerShellGet to install and import the NuGet provider
now?
[Yes] {No] [Suspend]
Choose "Yes"
You are installling the modules form an untrusted repository. If you
trust this repository, change its installationPolicy value by running
the Set-PSRepository cmdlet. Are you sure you want to install the
modules from 'PSGallery'?
[Yes] [Yes to All] [No] [No to All] [Suspend]
Choose "Yes to all"
Up to three modules will be installed/updated and directly after that, the Select-AzureRmSubscription should work immediately.
Select-AzureRmSubscription b0cabaca-1234-1337-abcd-bebedada1337
# note: this subscription GUID is completely fictional.
# To get the correct one, query your subscriptions with
# Get-AzureRmSubscription
You have to make sure that certain Azure Powershell modules are installed for certain cmdlets to work. You can check which modules are available by running Get-Module -ListAvailable. Select-AzureRMSubscription requires AzureRM module.
You could just install Azure Powershell with its modules using webPI - I've never had problems using it and I've heard that installing PS modules using gallery could cause problems (see here).
You can run azure PowerShell with Azure PowerShell step/task.
Edit your build definition
Click Add build step
Select Deploy catalog > Add Azure PowerShell step/task
the OS in question is server 2012
To install PowerShell on windows server 2012, we should add the .NET Framework 3.5 feature and add the windows PowerShell 2.0 Engine feature.
About how to add features, refer to the link.
Then we can download PowerShell installation package, and install it.
Then we can use windows server 2012 PowerShell to login azure.
You need to use the Set-AzContext,
Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName 'SubName' | Set-AzContext
