Group Policy module is not found in my PowerShell

Question

Group Policy module is not found in my PowerShell

Hi there,

Basically, I was trying to create or use Group Policy Object in my PowerShell script for the first time, and found out I coudn't locate any of the gpo related commands there.

For example, when I typed

Get-Command -module GroupPolicy

or

Get-Command -Name GPO* (or

there is nothing that comes up on the screen.

How could I install them or use them?

Thanks in advance!

I don't believe that the GroupPolicy module (like many others) is useable directly in PowerShell 7.

You can try installing the module, but you'll have to use the "Import-Module" command, with the -UseWindowsPowerShell switch to get it to work. Even then, I'm not sure if the necessary connection protocols work in your O/S.

Actually, the answer's suggestion did not work on my mac(my PowerShell 7.3.3 still doesn't have GroupPolicy module in it). But it worked on my Windows laptop with a command "Import-Module -Name GroupPolicy".

If you were using Windows, you'd install the Group Policy Management Console to add the GroupPolicy module to your machine: Install-WindowsFeature GPMC

That probably doesn't work on a Mac,
