I'm running powershell command on a linux server, and I have powershell for linux as well as the SqlServer installed, but when I run Invoke-ASCmd I got
Invoke-ASCmd: The term 'Invoke-ASCmd' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Here are the version of my powershell and SqlServer module:
PS /> Get-Host | Select-Object Version
Version
-------
7.1.3
PS /> Get-Module -Name SqlServer
ModuleType Version PreRelease Name ExportedCommands
---------- ------- ---------- ---- ----------------
Script 21.1.18245 SqlServer {Add-SqlAvailabilityDatabase, Add-SqlAvailabilityGroupListenerStaticIp, Add-SqlColumnEncryptionKeyValue, Add-SqlLogin…}
I could run Invoke-ASCmd locally on Windows, but it doesn't work on Linux.
Please help me with this issue, thanks so much

I don't know the location of the Powershell SqlServer module. But the env paths have worked for everything I have used so far:
$env:PSModulePath -split ";"

C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules

c:\Users\david\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-2023.1.0\modules
This issue, not recognizing cmdlets, occurs when using the Visual Studio Code (Powershell Extension v2023.1.0) terminal. But NOT when using a separate PS terminal. Both are using the same PS version:
PS C:\> $PSVersionTable

PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

I have been using my VS Code PS terminal exclusively with no cmdlet issues until I tried using the SqlServer module.
C:>$PSVersionTable.PSVersion.ToString()
5.1.18362.145
When I use Install-Module -Name SqlServer, it reports:
C:>Install-Module -Name SqlServer

e-SqlAlwaysOn,Enable-SqlAlwaysOn,Get-SqlCredential,Get-SqlDatabase,Get-SqlInstance,Get-SqlSmartAdmin,Invoke-PolicyEvaluation,Invoke-Sqlcmd,Join-SqlAvailabilityGr
Yes, those appear to be from the SQLPS module. Is it not possible to have two (2) modules with the same exported names?
Update:
Ok, -AllowClobber did avoid the error message. But now I appear to have commands available from both SqlServer and SQLPS.
C:>get-command -Sql
CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------
Alias Decode-SqlName 21.1.18121 SqlServer
Alias Decode-SqlName 14.0 SQLPS

Alias Encode-SqlName 14.0 SQLPS
Cmdlet Add-SqlAvailabilityDatabase 21.1.18121 SqlServer
Cmdlet Add-SqlAvailabilityDatabase 14.0 SQLPS
But, using Get-Command in a different way, only shows commands from the SqlServer module.
C:>Get-Command Get-Sqli*
CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------
Cmdlet Get-SqlInstance 21.1.18121 SqlServer
Cmdlet Get-SqlInstance 14.0 SQLPS
C:>Get-Command Get-SqlInstance

Cmdlet Get-SqlInstance 21.1.18121 SqlServer
You can:
Install-Module ... -AllowClobber
to override this error, possibly combined with
-Scope CurrentUser
To only install for a single user.
Or you can install Powershell Core to create a seperate powershell environment for the other module.
When I try to run a powershell script I get the following error:
Invoke-Sqlcmd : The term 'Invoke-Sqlcmd' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
So in Powershell I ran the following:
install-module sqlserver
update-module sqlserver
import-module sqlserver
This all runs fine. However when I rerun my script I still get the same error.
I have also installed powershelltools.msi, downloaded as part of the SQL Server 2014 Feature pack here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42295
If I run this command:
Get-Command -Module sqlserver
I get this result:
CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------
Alias Decode-SqlName 21.0.17224 sqlserver
Alias Encode-SqlName 21.0.17224 sqlserver
Function SQLSERVER: 21.0.17224 sqlserver
Any ideas on what else I should try?
I have SQLServer 2014 and Powershell Version 5
Are you using Powershell Core (v6.1)?
I was having a similar issue and found this SO answer. Turns out the SQLServer module for Powershell Core doesn't include the Invoke-SqlCmd (among others). I switched back to the 64-bit version of Powershell I have installed on Windows 10 (v5.1) and installed, then imported the sqlserver module. Invoke-SQLCmd is now listed.
Install-Module -Name SqlServer -AllowClobber
Import-Module -Name SqlServer -Force
Get-Command -Module SqlServer
Import-Module imports a module only to current powershell session, not globally. Add the import to your script or to profile.
Was searching a solution for the same problem and found the below worked for me.
find-module sqlserver | Install-Module -AllowClobber -Force

I had the same problem. Apparently I had to unblock all the dll files in the new module folder. In my case C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SqlServer.
I found the link here how to do it.
https://www.404techsupport.com/2016/06/24/unblock-files-powershell/
dir -Path [directory path] -Recurse | Unblock-File
Close powershell if you still have a session open.
I installed ms sql server with chocolatey:
choco install SQLServer2012DeveloperEditionWithSP1 -y -f -source 'http://choco.developers.tcpl.ca/chocolatey' -c "$env:WINDIR\temp"
SQL seems to be installed and working well outside of powershell where it doesn't work. I can see the sqlps module with:
Get-Module -listavailable
...
ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands
---------- ------- ---- ----------------
Manifest 1.0 SQLASCMDLETS
Manifest 1.0 SQLPS
The commands seem to be missing though. I don't have invoke-sqlcmd etc. In theory I should get access to them if I install the module but when I try to import-module sqlps but I get an error about not having a sqlserver drive:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Import-Module SQLPS
Set-Location : Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'SQLSERVER' does not exist.
At C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\PowerShell\Modules\SQLPS\SqlPsPostScript.ps1:1 char:1
+ Set-Location SQLSERVER:

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (SQLSERVER:String) [Set-Location], DriveNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand
I know several people in my group who went through these steps and did get the correct sql ps setup working.
Any tips or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks.
Good day,
I am guessing that you are using SQL Server 2017, since this is common issue in 2017, as I will explain below. I am not sure what version is used since this question is a bit old and was asked on May 2 '17 at 22:58
The error that you get includes the basic issue
Set-Location : Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'SQLSERVER' does not exist.
It does not say that the module 'SQLPS' does not exist, but that the module 'SQLSERVER' does not exist
The explanation is that until 2016 SQLPS module was included with the SQL Server installation, but the PowerShell module which we use is the 'SqlServer' module. 'SqlServer' module was included with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 16.x, but if you are using SSMS 2017 (17.x) then 'SqlServer' module must be installed from the PowerShell Gallery.
The procedure to install it is to execute the command:
Install-Module -Name SqlServer
If you get error like PackageManagement\Install-Package : The following commands are already available on this system:...
Then you can enforce the installation using the parameters: -Force and –AllowClobber
Since I am not familiar with your system, I will NOT advice you what to do or say if you should enforce the installation, but this is the solution which I would probably do in most cases like this (according to the information I noticed in this thread)
Install-Module -Name SqlServer -Force –AllowClobber
In order to confirm that the module is instead you can execute the following command:
Get-Module -Name SqlServer -listAvailable | select Name, ModuleType, Version
Check the version of your installation using the command above, and use it in the following command in order to import the newest version (at the time I write this answer the version is 21.0.17279):
Import-Module SqlServer -Version 21.0.17279
That is all... If all went well then you should be able to use all the SQL Server PowerShell commands
Just a side-note for future readers, I was trying to create a sql backup via powershell. The cmdlets ran as they should under an Administrator account, however running the script under a regular user account, I got the following error:
Cannot find a provider with the name 'SqlServer'
Googling that question brought me here, but the answer to my issue was in a forum post here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/626bb81a-00ba-4239-ad0a-fec32546350a/check-if-drive-exists-if-not-map?forum=winserverpowershell
I encountered a weird issue and hope that somebody may have a fix for this.
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP2-GDR) (KB4505217) - 12.0.5223.6 (X64) (yeah I know...it's a dev server)
Windows 2012 R2
PSVersion 4.0
I load the SQL assemblies in the PS script
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | Out-Null
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended") | Out-Null
The following will fail if I run this immediately after loading the assemblies
Get-ChildItem SQLSERVER:\SQL$env:COMPUTERNAME
Get-ChildItem : Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'SQLSERVER' does not exist.
If I run the following first, I'm fine.
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "SELECT TOP 1 * FROM sys.sysobjects" | Out-Null
Get-ChildItem SQLSERVER:\SQL$env:COMPUTERNAME
I just wanted to amend that I just need to run
Invoke-Sqlcmd | Out-Null
This seems to then fully load the assemblies into memory and everything is OK after.
So I added this to my script:
# SQL cmdlets below need some dll imports from system
# These do not get loaded sometime when running under an non-admin account (Cannof find a provider with the name 'SqlServer')
# Running this dummy command seems to load all needed dlls
# Also see: https://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/topic/unable-access-sql-provider-in-powershell-without-running-an-invoke-sqlcmd-first
Invoke-Sqlcmd | Out-Null
Seems like valuable information that shouldn't get lost, so I thought i'd post it in the highest SO when googling for that particular error.
One could argue that installing the module rather than this dummy method would be cleaner.
As pointed, here are the links that you should refer now.
MSDN Link
Running SQL Server Powershell
Cannot find path 'SQLSERVER' Issue
There is an answer given by Jarret. Simply loading the module won't help actually. These set of commands have to run after that.
Push-Location
cd $sqlpsPath
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100
Update-TypeData -PrependPath SQLProvider.Types.ps1xml
update-FormatData -prependpath SQLProvider.Format.ps1xml

Hope it helps.
i am having a .ps1 powershell script which executes in window, but my whole data is in linux server, is there any possible way via which i can execute the powershell script in red hat server
the powershell script is :
Clear-Host
$path="D:\Deep Backup 26-04-2013\New folder"
$systemname=Read-Host 'Enter System Name'
$files=Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse -Force -Include *_Registrar.zip*,*.reg.zip*
$counter=1
foreach($file in $files)
{
$name=$file.name
[void][system.reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 6.5.4\Assemblies\v2.0\MySql.Data.dll")
$dbconnect=New-Object MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection
$dbconnect.ConnectionString="server=localhost;userid=root;password=nPr123*;database=test3;"
$dbconnect.Open()
$sql="insert into eid values('"+$name + "','"+$systemname+"')"
$command=new-object MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand($sql,$dbconnect)
$command.ExecuteNonQuery()
}
$sql="insert into eid_unique
select distinct Packet_name, System_name from eid a
where not exists (select 1 from eid_unique b
where a.Packet_name=b.Packet_name);"
$command=new-object MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand($sql,$dbconnect)
$command.ExecuteNonQuery()
$dbconnect.close()
Four years later from original question microsoft releases powershell for linux. And it's opensource: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell
In linux environment you can use syntax like this: (script.ps1, executable)
#!/usr/bin/powershell -Command
write-host -fore Green "executing PowerShell!";
Pash is a cross-platform mono clone of Powershell which is under active development.
You only need to download, build it with xbuild, and run it.
Just like with Powershell on Windows you can execute your script with
& '/path/to/script.ps1'
After installing powershell, easy enough:
thufir#dur:~/powershell$
thufir#dur:~/powershell$ ./hello_world.ps1
hello world
done
thufir#dur:~/powershell$
thufir#dur:~/powershell$ cat hello_world.ps1
#!/usr/bin/pwsh -Command
echo "hello world"
"done"
thufir#dur:~/powershell$
Not sure why it's pwsh and not powershell, but that's Linux for you.
You can also easily install on linux with
snap install powershell --classic
This revision of snap "powershell" was published using classic confinement and thus may perform arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox that snaps are usually confined to, which may put your system at risk.
It sounds like Pash may work for you.
I want to share a straightforward approach that helped me. Please follow the official Microsoft documentation for this. There are two steps to this question.

Installing PowerShell:
Following URLs will assist you to install PowerShell in your machine.
Windows: URL
Linux OSs: URL
MacOS: URL - for direct download option (I used this option)
To confirm your installation, open up a terminal and run pwsh (this is for mac). You will see the following:
