how to create working PS script?

in normal services i can load powershell's module to Add-PSSnapin commandlet.

example: Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

and so forth.

how can i load Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.Snapin?

i'd try: 

PS C:\Users\sev> Add-PSSnapin Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.Snapin

and i get:

 

PS C:\Users\sev> Add-PSSnapin Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.Snapin
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.Snapin' is not installed on this mac

    On 64-bit Windows operating systems, you must run the Enterprise Vault PowerShell snap-in under the 32-bit version of PowerShell.  See the manual.

    Also, if it still doesn't work, try and run the Enterprise Vault Management Shell from the start menu once before you try to load the snapin.

    Here is how I just set things up, and tested with get-indexlocationbackupmode:

     

    You have got to launch the x86 version of powershell from:

    c:\windows\syswow64\WindoesPowerShell\v1.0

     

    Navigate from that shell to the EV folder:

    cd "\program files (x86)\enterprise vault"

     

    Add the snapin

    add-pssnapin Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.Snapin

     

    Run some stuff, eg

    get-indexlocationbackupmode -evservername ev1a.ev.local

     

    Hope that helps,

    Than you, Rob!

    Thank you, all!

    i didn't use "cd "\program files (x86)\enterprise vault"", i'll try.

    but this 32bit implementation is very uncomfortable for me.

    i used to create file and simply add snapins and write a code.

    No problem. I guess if you add the EV install folder to the path, you would just be able to add it as you described.
