Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable only two results

---

Hey all,

I'm doing the practice labs for 70-740, and keep running into an issue with Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable, In the videos when the cmdlet is run it always shows a nice long list, including a result NanoServerPackage, which I really need apparently.. when I run it on my Nano server here I only get 2 results, on desktop experience I get 5 results. For practical reasons I've got a home lab here, not using the virtual labs. Am I missing something? Also I was wondering after having some network issues, is it usable in environments without internet? I've ordered a study guide but it takes a while to arrive.. In the mean time I was hoping someone can shed some light :)

Thanks,
Maarten

The first command output is missing the NanoServerPackage

This means that the get-package -providername nanoserverpackage will not find it. You may not have installed that particular package.

Try to run, Install-PackageProvider -Name nanoserverpackage from administrative mode powershell.

Run find-NanoServerPackage -Name * to get a list of the package types to verify that you can install the package type you need

Verify that that you have it available to you get-packageprovider -listavailable

Other's may have a better way or easier way to do this, hopefully they'll chime in!

Thanks Ronnie, it worked with Install-Module -Name NanoServerPackage -SkipPublisherCheck -force

The whole nanoserver and package/module thing is still a bit of a mystery to me, will continue with it later.

@ito-maarten-de-reus,

Great job!
You're not the only one...so it's just getting the muscle memory down to remember it! ;)
