WebAdministration powershell module not found on windows server data center

Question

In Windows Server 2008 Datacenter, I could not find the PowerShell webadministration module. I tried Get-PSSnapin and Get-Module -ListAvailab

Answer 1

You need to have web server role (IIS) installed. WebAdministration is a module. So, use Get-Module -ListAvailable

Also, looks like these cmdlets are available only on Windows Server 2008 R2 or with IIS 7.5. So, if you have IIS7.5 on Windows Server 2008, these cmdlets will be available.
