Command '.\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Startup. ps1' could not be executed because some Windows PowerShell snap-ins did not load Is there a way to fix this? Morten

Hi Can you clarify how you are running this. And on which machine? Is it the RMS? Does the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client registry key exist in the location specified? If not, is the OpsMgr console installed? What Operating System? I have fired up windows powershell and executed your command from c:\program files\system center operations manager 2007\ and it works fine for me so there isn't an underlying OpsMgr problem but something specific to your environment. If you could provide more details we can help troubleshoot. Cheers Graham View OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/

Hi, Please add the snapin and try again: Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client Meanwhile, I would like to share the following with you for your reference: Have your PowerShell and our Cmdlets too... http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scshell/archive/2007/01/03/have-your-powershell-and-our-cmdlets-too.aspx Hope this helps.

Hi, Please also check the value “ApplicationBase” in the following Registry Key, is it set to the path of your System Center Operations Manager 2007? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client If not, please modify it to your System Center Operations Manager 2007’s installation path, such as “C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\” (without quotations). Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hello In registry under Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client i created a type REG_SZ and ApplicationBase with Data C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007 When i run powershell i still get a error: PS C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007> C:\WINDOWS\system32\w indowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile Microsoft.EnterpriseManageme nt.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1 -NoExit .\Microsoft.EnterpriseMana gement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Startup.ps1 WARNING: The following errors occurred when loading console C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1: Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client because of the following error: Mandatory value AssemblyName not specified for registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.

Hi, At this time, also check the key AssemblyName under the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client I think the value should be "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell, Version=6.0.4900.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" I have also exported this key on my server, here is the content. Please also check other keys referring to this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client] "ApplicationBase"="C:\\Program Files\\System Center Operations Manager 2007\\" "AssemblyName"="Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell, Version=6.0.4900.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" "ModuleName"=" C:\\Program Files\\System Center Operations Manager 2007\\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.dll" "PowerShellVersion"="1.0" "Vendor"="Microsoft Corporation" "Version"="6.0.4900.0" "Description"="Microsoft Operations Manager Shell Snapin" "Types"=" C:\\Program Files\\System Center Operations Manager 2007\\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Types.ps1xml" "Formats"=" C:\\Program Files\\System Center Operations Manager 2007\\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Format.ps1xml" Hope this helps.

Hello Thanks for your help so far. I see to be missing some keys in my registry. I created a reg file and imported the keys you had. I seem to be close a solution now but the error i am getting now is: Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error: Invalid directory on URL PS C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0> C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowers ____\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Operation sManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1 -NoExit .\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Opera tionsManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1 Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error: Invalid directory on URL. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0> Morten

Hi, Thank you for your update. I am glad to know the progress. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated. I noticed that you have imported the key I provided. Please ensure your installation path is “C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\” (without quotations); if not, please modify it to the correct one in the key. Regarding the error “Invalid directory on URL”, what I think is checking if the file “Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1” exists and ensuring the path is right. Please try again use the full path or absolute path for the file “Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1”. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Still the same error when i use to full path C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007 Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error:Invalid directory on URL. Here is the command i use: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\WINDO WS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1" -NoExit "C :\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Start up.ps1" Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error: Invalid directory on URL. Scom is installed into C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007 Morten

Hi, As far as I know, the command is the target of Operations Manager Shell: “C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.O perationsManager.ClientShell.Console.psc1 -NoExit .\Microsoft.EnterpriseManageme nt.OperationsManager.ClientShell.Startup.ps1” Please also check if you can open “Operations Manager Shell”. In addition, please also try the method in the following post and see if it works: Have your PowerShell and our Cmdlets too... http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scshell/archive/2007/01/03/have-your-powershell-and-our-cmdlets-too.aspx Hope this helps.

Morten

Hi, Thank you for your update. At this time, please check if other commands work, such as “get-date”, it will returns the current date and time. I also suspect the Operations Manager Shell might be corrupted. Please try repairing the System Center Operations Manager console and see if it works. Thanks.
