Register VI Toolkit Cmdlets in powershell

[downatone]

Right now I need to open the VI Toolkit console to use the vm cmdlets.

If I try to call any of them from within powershell, the cmdlets are unrecognized. How do I register them within powershell so I don't have to use the VI Toolkit console?

You can use

Add-PSSnapin -Name "VMware.VimAutomation.Core"

Best is to place this in one of the profile files, that way it will be loaded automatically when you start PS.

Silly me, just needed to register the correct snapin it looks like.

add-pssnapin -Name "VMware.VimAutomation.Core"

Edit: thanks just realized that
