Hi,

 

I've not tried it on Windows 10 yet however you could try installing it on another system and simply copying the "DataONTAP" module folder (EG "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetApp\Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit\DataONTAP") to the "Modules" folder within your system's powershell modules directory. EG "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\DataONTAP"

In "theory" you should then be able to do an "Import-Module -Name DataONTAP" within your powershell session.

Hi FerdiG,

 

Would it be possible to run the installer from an administrator account/with admin privileges?

 

Open an Administrative Command Prompt -> Navigate to the msi folder -> run the command NetAppPowerShellToolkit.msi [where NetAppPowerShellToolkit.msi is the full name of your downloaded installer] - this should resolve the PowerShell version issue. The installer tries reading a registry value to determine is PowerShell 3.0+ is installed and reading registry is not allowed without admin priviledges. I suspect that is the problem ...

 

Hope this helps,

Aparajita
