Security and Management Open PowerShell Module

Requirements

Security and Management Open PowerShell works with PowerShell 5.1 or higher on Windows, or PowerShell Core 6.x and later on all platforms. If you aren't sure if you have PowerShell, or are on macOS or Linux, install the latest version of PowerShell Core.

To check your PowerShell version, run the command:

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

To run Security and Management Open PowerShell in PowerShell 5.1 on Windows:

1. Update to Windows PowerShell 5.1 if needed. If you're on Windows 10, you already have PowerShell 5.1 installed.
2. Install .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later.

There are no additional requirements for Security and Management Open PowerShell when using PowerShell Core.

Install the Security and Management Open PowerShell module

The recommended install method is to only install for the active user:

Install-Module -Name SecMgmt -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

If you want to install for all users on a system, this requires administrator privileges. From an elevated PowerShell session either run as administrator or with the sudo command on macOS or Linux:

Install-Module -Name SecMgmt -AllowClobber -Scope AllUsers

By default, the PowerShell gallery isn't configured as a trusted repository for PowerShellGet. The first time you use the PSGallery you see the following prompt:

Untrusted repository

You are installing the modules from an untrusted repository. If you trust this repository, change
its InstallationPolicy value by running the Set-PSRepository cmdlet.

Are you sure you want to install the modules from 'PSGallery'?

# List all cmdlets in the SecMgmt module
Get-Command -Module SecMgmt

# List all cmdlets that contain Hybrid
Get-Command -Name '*Hybrid*'

# List all cmdlets that contain Hybrid in the SecMgmt module
Get-Command -Module SecMgmt -Name '*Hybrid*'
