Ran into an issue with SQL snapins not registering in PS x86 (needed to run ADMT related scripts). The following resolved the issue. Start PowerShell x86 ( important - run as Administrator ) execute the following sequence: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn" $framework=$([System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment]::GetRuntimeDirectory()) Set-Alias installutil "$($framework)installutil.exe" installutil Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSSnapins.dll installutil Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSProvider.dll Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100 Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100 To verify that snapins registered correctly examine the output of the following command: get-pssnapin -registered
