How to suppress a warning on unapproved verbs?

Question

When Powershell execute this line:

Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100

I get this warning message :

WARNING: Some imported command names include unapproved verbs which might make them less discoverable. Use the Verbose parameter for more detail or type Get-Verb to see the list of approved verbs.

How to suppress this warning?

Answer 1

To truly stop getting the name warnings use -DisableNameChecking:

 import-module MyModule.psm1 -DisableNameChecking

Or as mentioned use -WarningAction SilentlyContinue:

import-module MyModule.psm1 -WarningAction SilentlyContinue

Or if that doesn't work use the warning stream redirection such as

 import-module MyModule.psm1 3>$null

The 3 is not a typo.

Answer 2

You could add it using -WarningAction SilentlyContinue like the following:

Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100 -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
