I have a Windows Server 2016 Jenkins build box. I want to run some powershell in a Jenkins job.
As a test I have set the job to do this in a Execute Windows batch command build step:
powershell -command Get-DscResource -module xhyper-v
I get this output:
D:\Jenkins\workspace\build-windows-server-2016-core>powershell -command Get-DscResource -module xhyper-v
WARNING: There are no modules present in the system with the given module specification.
I even tried installing the PowerShell plugin and running it in a Powershell build step and I get the same result.
If I RDP onto the box and log on as the jenkins service account and open a cmd.exe window and run powershell -command Get-DscResource -module xhyper-v
I get this output:
C:\Users\svc_jenkins>powershell -command get-dscresource -module xhyper-v

Any ideas why Get-DscResource can't find xHyper-V module when run from a Jenkins job?
