- One of the things that Microsoft has unfortunately done…to make PowerShell a little confusing,…is produced a bunch of what I call…product specific management shells.…You know down here in your start menu,…you install the Exchange admin tools,…and there's an Exchange management shell link.…I bet you if I drill into SQL Server down here,…somewhere I will find the SQL Server shell.…In fact under administrative tools,…you'll find the active directory module…for Windows PowerShell.…
Well it's all smoke and mirrors.…It's all completely fake, there's only one PowerShell.…There's only one Highlander, there's only one PowerShell.…Everything that looks like…a product specific version of PowerShell isn't.…Take a look at these properties for a second.…All this is doing is running powershell.exe,…the same one you've been using,…and it's telling it to load up…a particular module as part of that.…So this shortcut is just kinda autoloading…a particular module for me.…
It's not a different copy of PowerShell.…So, we're going to talk about how to manually load…
