Examples of configuring PowerShell on a fresh server (win 2019 or 2022)

[Justinvolved]

Hi,

I'm looking to use Otter to setup a fresh server and make sure PowerShell in general, and some specific modules I'm using are installed.

Do you by any chance have basic example of such a task? For example how to check if PSGallery is trusted so I don't get:

I would probalby also need to set the Set-ExecutionPolicy, and I guess I might forget a lot of stuff here as well :-)

Thanks,
Justin

Make a role with this desired configuration

Ensure-PsRepository
    (
        Exists: true,
        InstallationPolicy: trusted,
        SourceLocation: https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2,
        Name: PSGallery
    );

Assign the role to the server
Remediate

Et voilà
This should work

Cheers

For the modules, 2 ways

1. Create a second role which depend on the previous one and use
   Ensure-psmodule function to add the required module

2. You don t need the set psgallery to be trusted if you use the Force in the Ensure-psmodule
