So what is special about Powershell PSC1 files?

问题

On my PowerShell shortcut I have the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -psc "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" -noe -c ". \"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1\""

Yet, I would prefer to add the registration of snapins and to run the init of the PowerCLI environment to my profile.

So in my profile I add the following:

Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1"

Yet, the Get-VICommand is no longer available using this method. Why?

回答1:

PSC1 files are "PowerShell Console files." They are XML configuration files that tell PowerShell which snapins to load automatically. The other way to do that would be to call Import-Module or Add-PSSnapin in your Profile.ps1 script.

You can create your own psc1 files using Export-Console.

Try like this:

add-pssnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

. 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1' # dot sourcing!
