Sometimes it’s useful to have opportunity to run and debug powerCLI scripts/functions from standard Powershell ISE

1. install on AdminPC powerCLI
2. open Powershell ISE
3. copy and paste into command line below:

   Import-Module VMware.DeployAutomation
   Import-Module VMware.ImageBuilder
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Common
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.HA
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.License
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Storage
   Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.vds
   
   

if you need to have powerCLI modules in Powershell ISE always, then create under your user account powershell profile:

1. 1. new-item -path $profile -itemtype file -force
   2. powershell_ise $profile
   3. and add into your profile above commands, or just one line
      .’C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1′
   4. save your powershell profile.
