How to find a module for a powershell cmdlet with Get-Command

27 May,2021 by Tom Collins

Question: I need to interrogate the module for a Powershell cmdlet but I can't find the actual physical location of the file on the host server.  I can execute the cmd through the Powershell command line OK , but can't find the powershell cmd file. Is there a Powershell method of locating the Powershell module files?

 

Answer:  There is a Powershell method to obtain the physical location of the modules . Check out the Get-Command cmdlet.    There are different usages for this command , and one of the uses is to obtain information about another Powershell cmdlet

For example - if you'd like to find out extra information about the Invoke-SqlVulnerabilityAssessmentScan  cmdlet , you would use : 

Get-Command Invoke-SqlVulnerabilityAssessmentScan | fl *

This command would give you various categories of information - Helpfile, Version, modeule location,Options, Parameters ......
