Launch PowerShell as Administrator

NCache requires importing the NCache PowerShell module (ncacheps) to run NCache cmdlets. You can launch PowerShell with pre-imported ncacheps or import the module manually by launching standard PowerShell.

NCache PowerShell Management

Go to Start menu on the Taskbar and type NCache PowerShell Management.
Click on the search result. This will open an instance of PowerShell with ncacheps imported, and display a list of all NCache PowerShell cmdlets.
You can now proceed to manage NCache with PowerShell. Refer to the NCache PowerShell Reference for full coverage of NCache cmdlets.

Standard PowerShell

You must launch a new/fresh instance of Windows PowerShell so %NCHOME%environment variable setup by NCache installation is visible. PowerShell cmdlets make use of this environment variable.

Go to Start menu on the Taskbar and type Windows PowerShell.
Right-click on the Windows PowerShell result and select Run as Administrator. This launches PowerShell with Administrator privileges.
Verify that environment variable $Env:NCHOME is pointing to NCache installation directory.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $Env:NCHOME
C:\Program Files\NCache

Import NCache PowerShell Module

You may be unable to run NCache PowerShell cmdlets if the environment variable PSModulePath has not been refreshed after the installation. Import the NCache PowerShell module (ncacheps.dll) found in the location %NCHOME%\bin\tools\ncacheps.

Execute the following command on Windows PowerShell to import the module:

Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\NCache\bin\tools\ncacheps\ncacheps.dll'

In order to verify if the environment variable PSModulePath has been refreshed successfully, run the following command using Command Prompt (Run as Administrator).

On running this command, the path for ncacheps gets displayed. If the output displays %NCHOME%\bin\tools it means that the environment variables are refreshed.

echo %PSModulePath%

You can now proceed to manage NCache with PowerShell. Refer to the NCache PowerShell Reference for full coverage of NCache cmdlets.
