Use a PowerShell module instead of a snap-in.
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.

2023-07-04T15:25:12.9933333+00:00 Just to verify, do you see the snap-in if you run Get-PSSnapin -Registered?
Are you running your script on a SharePoint server? If not, does it work if you do run it on a SharePoint server?
How was the snap-in installed if you're running this on a client machine?

2023-07-11T05:55:30.6433333+00:00 But I need to run the same script for multiple sites and the cmdlets work only if I add the snapin atleast once. For the first site the script adds the snapin and works fine, but from the second site the script throws error while adding the snapin
