PowerShell Help

Hey everybody

I hope that you are fine

I need to know the name of the SQL Server 2016 snapin on power shell and how can I download it

Best Regards

AFAIK, It should come along with SQL 2016 installation and the module name would be SQLPS.

There’s a base version of the module that’s included with an install of SQL server usually but focus has moved to the SQLServer module on the PSGallery. Using this module will keep you the most up-to-date.

[pre]

Install-Module SQLServer

[/pre]

On the SQL server, just as PowerShell for it…
There is no download required.
