Hi all,

Have any of You tried to import a powershell module from local file (intelNetCmdlet.psd1) and then run cmdlets

I can make the module work outside Ansible with import-module -path “C:\somepath.psd1” on windows.

Thank you.

/Car

Hi,

[This module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/windows/win_psmodule_module.html#win-psmodule-module) seems to be of use to install PS modules, but I can’t tell for sure it can’t be used to import those as well.

If not, you could still use [ansible.windows.win\_powershell](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/windows/win_powershell_module.html#ansible-collections-ansible-windows-win-powershell-module) to import your modules through `script` parameter, running your `ipmo` command from there.

Either you have it installed as any other normal module on the target Windows host so you can do `Import-Module intelNetCmdlet` or you manually import it with the path.
