How to get started:

  1. Ensure that you can run unsigned local scripts, by calling Set-ExecutionPolicy. We recommend the RemoteSigned policy. See Using the Set-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet for more information.
  2. Download the ZIP for the latest release.
  3. Open the Properties of the ZIP file and click the Unblock button (if available).
  4. Extract all files from the ZIP and rename the root folder from "tridion-powershell-modules-x.x.x" to "Tridion-CoreService".
  5. Copy the Tridion-CoreService directory to your PowerShell Modules folder.
  • The default on most desktops is: %UserProfile%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules.
  • You can see the current folders where PowerShell looks for modules, by typing '$PSModulePath'. If you don't know which one to use, just pick the first one.
  • Create the necessary directories if they do not exist already.
  1. Start a new PowerShell terminal and type: Import-Module Tridion-CoreService
  2. Optionally, set the Tridion version and connection options by calling Set-TridionCoreServiceSettings. By default it will connect to a 2011 SP1 Core Service on the local machine using wsHttp. That works on all supported Tridion versions, but if you have a newer version installed you may wish to update the version used by the modules.
  3. Call Get-TridionUser to test if everything is working.

Help

You can get the list of all of the commands by typing this in PowerShell:

Get-Command -Module Tridion-CoreService

Each of the commands also has help information available (including examples), which you can read by calling Get-Help nameOfCommand (e.g. Get-Help Get-TridionUser).

If you have any issues or questions, feel free to add an entry under Issues.
