No snap-in is registered for Windows PowerShell version 5

  • 1.  No snap-in is registered for Windows PowerShell version 5

    Posted Aug 08, 2017 10:16 AM

    I have a PC running Windows 10 and I use PowerShell v.5 to connect to a vSphere 5.5 infrastructure.

    When I start a PowerShell script that attempts to execute the Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core command I get an error saying that no snap-in is registered for Windows PowerShell version 5.

    How can I solve the problem?

    Regards

    Which PowerCLI version do you have installed?

    In the latest PowerCLI version there are no PSSnapin anymore.

    You can check the PowerCLI version via the Programs And Features Control Panel applet.

    If it says 6.5.0 or higher, you can do (instead of the Add-PSSnapin)

    Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable | Import-Module
