Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell returns error even if the snapin has been already added.

Question

Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell returns error even if the snapin has been already added.

It works fine for other snapins. I am able to use the cmdlets from the Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell snapin but Get-PSSnapin returns error.

The Snapin is in the list of registered snapins

Please state your views on this. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use a PowerShell module instead of a snap-in.

Answer 2

If the cmdlets you're using work, why do you need the snap-in? Try removing the Add-PSSnapin and Get-PSSnapin from you code and see if works.
