No SQL Server PowerShell snapin installed despite installing SQL Server

Question

I am using SQL Server 2012 SP1 developer edition. Lately I had a need to use SQL Server snapin but PowerShell claims not to have one. I made a research on the internet but I didn't find any working solution. Is there any way I can add it to PowerShell?

get-pssnapin -registered output:

Answer 1

In SQL Server 2012 the PowerShell functionality delivered by the product came in the form of a PowerShell module, so therefore you no longer need to work with the snapins.

To consume the SQL Server PowerShell module, you simply need to do this:

Import-Module "sqlps"

Or if you are using PowerShell v3+ then you just need to reference a member of that module and it'll be automatically loaded in.
