Run PowerShell command from command prompt (no ps1 script)

Question

I\'m looking for a way to run just a couple PowerShell commands from the command prompt. I don\'t want to create a script for this since it\'s just a couple commands I need

Answer 1

Run it on a single command line like so:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile 
  -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Get-AppLockerFileInformation -Directory <folderpath> 
  -Recurse -FileType <type>"

Answer 2

This works from my Windows 10's cmd.exe prompt

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Import-Module C:\Users\william\ps1\TravelBook; Get-TravelBook Hawaii"

This example shows

1. how to chain multiple commands
2. how to import module with module path
3. how to run a function defined in the module
4. No need for those fancy "&".

Answer 3

Here is the only answer that managed to work for my problem, got it figured out with the help of this webpage (nice reference).

powershell -command "& {&'some-command' someParam}"

Also, here is a neat way to do multiple commands:

powershell -command "& {&'some-command' someParam}"; "& {&'some-command' -SpecificArg someParam}"

For example, this is how I ran my 2 commands:

powershell -command "& {&'Import-Module' AppLocker}"; "& {&'Set-AppLockerPolicy' -XmlPolicy myXmlFilePath.xml}"

Answer 4

Maybe powershell -Command "Get-AppLockerFileInformation....."

Take a look at powershell /?
