Use a Windows PowerShell Module to Deploy Your Cmdlets

📐 Rule.

Create a PowerShell module to package and deploy your cmdlets. Module support was introduced in PowerShell 2.0.

Two packaging paths.

- Use the assemblies that contain your cmdlet classes directly as binary module files

This is useful when testing your cmdlets.

- Create a module manifest that references the cmdlet assemblies

Snap-ins.

You can also add existing snap-in assemblies when using modules.
