Hi Travis, no C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules shows a single directory for xStorage and a single 2.5.0.0 within that directory:

What is your $env:psmodulepath when running in Powershell?
Can you run "$env:psmodulePath" and send the output?

from storagedsc.

Hi Travis,

Here is my path:

C:\Users\tomta\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;C:\WINDOWS\system32\Window

sPowerShell\v1.0\Modules;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\PowerShell\Modules;C:\Program Files\Mic

rosoft Message Analyzer\PowerShell;C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Az

ure\PowerShell\ResourceManager\AzureResourceManager;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell\ServiceManag

ement;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell\Storage\

I checked all the directories listed in it and only C:\Users\tomta\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules contains xStorage. Note that for some reason C:\Users\tomta\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules is listed twice though. I’ll fix that and see if that is the problem…

Travis, that duplicate entry in my module path was the problem. Some extraordinarily helpful installer must have added it sometime in the past and I didn’t see it.

Thanks for prompting me to review that path.

Here is your path reformated to one path per line and sorted, the problem is in bold.

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell\ResourceManager\AzureResourceManager;
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell\ServiceManagement;
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell\Storage\
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\PowerShell\Modules;
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft Message Analyzer\PowerShell;
• C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;
• C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;
• C:\Users\tomta\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;
• C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules;

Please file an issue for this on [https://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/301869-powershell](PowerShell User Voice)

I suspect when you installed the azure SDK it duplicated the path.

To fix this open (this is windows 10 the names may vary slightly on other Oss)

1. Open Control panel
2. Open System and Security
3. Open System
4. Open Advanced System Setting
5. Open Environment variables
6. In system varibales find PSModule Path, click it
7. click edit
8. Remove any reference to C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
9. click ok
10. close any powershell windows
11. if you are using any application other than windows explore to launch powershell, close those as well.

It should now be fixed

Forgot to add, please confirm this resolves the issue so I can close this question.

Confirmed: something added that path to my system environment PSModulePath. I remove it via Control Panel and everything is working as expected.
