PowerShell Import DnsShell Module

So here's the list of available modules in this directory. As you can see DnsShell is there.

PS C:\windows\system32> Get-Module -ListAvailable

Directory: C:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules

Manifest   TroubleshootingPack                 {Get-TroubleshootingPack, Invoke-TroubleshootingPack}

When I run the command to Import-Module DnsShell, I get this error and I dont know why..

PS C:\windows\system32> Import-Module DnsShell
Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 
'file:///C:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\DnsShell\DnsShell.dll' or    one of its dependencies. Operation is

Look at the file properties on DnsShell.dll and see if, on the general tab, you see an Unblock button at the bottom. This can happen if you download the files from a remote source.

This is due to the version of PowerShell you are running. This module runs with 2.0 ONLY. If you are getting the error run 2.0 by running "powershell.exe -version 2.0" Then import the module.

Download module from: http://dnsshell.codeplex.com/

1- Extract DnsShell.zip to one of the paths shown by $Env:PSModulePath

2- Run: Import-Module DnsShell

For me only works doing this:

extract to another folder;
unblock all files;
copy the dnsshell folder to modules folder;
import the module;

If unblocking with the Explorer doesn't work or if you have many files to unblock, you can remove alternate data streams with the streams.exe Windows Sysinternals tool located at https://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/sysinternals/streams.aspx.

streams -s -d DNSSHELL_DIRECTORY

This command will remove every alternate data stream in the DNSSHELL_DIRECTORY files and all of its subdirectories. So don't use it on random parts of the filesystem.

To be sure, you can first list the streams with:

streams -s DNSSHELL_DIRECTORY
