PowerShell Snap-ins


PowerShell cmdlets are contained in PowerShell snap-ins. PowerShell snap-ins are a group of Power-
Shell cmdlets or providers that extend the functionality of the shell. When a snap-in is loaded into the
PowerShell environment, the cmdlets and providers contained in it are registered with the shell.
By default, seven core snap-ins are loaded, and their corresponding cmdlets are available when Power-
Shell is launched. Each core snap-ins has its own namespace:


❑ Core
❑ Host
❑ Management
❑ Security
❑ Utility
❑ Diagnostics
❑ WSMAN.Management
