    <p>I'm currently having issues whilst calling Import-Module with Powershell and would be grateful for some advice.</p> <p>According to previous questions and answers here, the following error, when received whilst trying to import a module using PowerShell, can be ignored:</p> <p><strong>File skipped because it was already present from "Microsoft.PowerShell".</strong></p> <p>The problem is that it will get caught if the import command is within a try / catch statement.</p> <p>I've read a number of posts regarding this (example <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6072026/powershell-on-scom-fails-to-import-module">PowerShell on SCOM fails to import module</a>) and one did mention to try adding "-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" to the Import-Module command, but unfortunately this makes no difference.</p> <p>Below is the code I'm currently using to test the issue which should give you a better understanding of what I am trying to achieve.</p> <p>Has anyone managed to successfully ignore these warnings on module import whilst wrapped in a try / catch before?</p> <p>Thanks for your time,</p> <p>Andrew</p> <pre><code>function load_module($name) { if (-not(Get-Module -Name $name)) { if (Get-Module -ListAvailable | Where-Object { $_.name -eq $name }) { Import-Module $name return $true } else { return $false } } else { return $true } } $moduleName = "ActiveDirectory" try { if (load_module $moduleName) { Write-Host "Loaded $moduleName" } else { Write-Host "Failed to load $moduleName" } } catch { Write-Host "Exception caught: $_" } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
