- In addition to PowerShell, you must import the VAMT PowerShell module. The module is included in the VAMT 3.0 folder after you install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK).
|
||||
**To prepare the VAMT PowerShell environment**
|
||||
1. To open PowerShell with administrative credentials, click **Start** and type “PowerShell” to locate the program. Right-click **Windows PowerShell**, and then click **Run as administrator**.
