Summary: Learn how to import a Windows PowerShell module from a shared location.

Hey, Scripting Guy! Question I have a module that will run on multiple servers, and I want to be able to access it from a single location. How can I import a Windows PowerShell module from a central location?

                             Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use the Import-Module cmdlet and specify the complete path to the folder containing the module. You can then use cmdlets from the module as if it were installed locally. 

                                                    Import-Module \\dc1\Share\PSWindowsUpdate
