PowerShell FAQ and Links

I'm having real trouble with pwps_dab here. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, used the installer on here and it still is missing the cmdlets for lots of things. I've updated, reloaded, deleted, and done it all 4 or 5 times now and still when I run the script I have for creating user groups it can't do any of it because the first command for New-PWGroup doesn't exist in the version of pwps_dab I get on the system. I'm running things as admin, and I'm using the System32 version of Powershell ISE. Any ideas on what I can do? I'm about at my wits end now.

Hi Pete,

I don't think that the 'New-PWGroup' function has been migrated to PWPS_DAB.yet.

The function may only be available in the original 'PWPS' 32-bit cmdlets.

Thanks Pete! I'll see if I can find them now too.

Get-Command -Module pwps_dab

will show all commands from the pwps_dab module and what version of the dab module it's seeing.

Get-Command -Module pwps

will show all commands from the pwps command. You will get an error for this command if you are running 64-bit powershell. The pwps module is 32-bit only and is unavailable in 64-bit powershell.

Thanks Kevin.

So, how do I get pwps and pwps_dab to work at the same time? I have a laptop at home that loads both modules and runs them just fine. I thought that was 64-bit, but I may be wrong.

if you need both you'll have to run in 32 bit mode. The 32-bit one is the one that ends in (x86). The 64-bit one doesn't have that. In PWPS_DAB works in both 64-bit and 32-bit.
