using powershell w/o Console

Post by md@gmx.net »

Hello,
is it possible to use powershell scripts without starting the powershell from the console?
I tried many hints. But it did not work. I can't use the Explorer cmdlets. They are not recognized as commands.
Any help on this?

Regards
Marcus

Hi Marcus!

You can start and use Veeam powershell cmdlets without opening Veeam console - just open Powershell and add Veeam Powershell snapin to the session "Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapin".
However console is a must, and should be installed on your machine to use veeam cmndlets.

Thanks!

Adding to Egor's comment, below is a link to Veeam documentation on how to use Veeam PowerShell cmdlets without opening the console first. The instructions also include how to add the Explorer cmdlets that are not included with VeeamPSSnapin.
