    I'm trying to get familiar with Invoke-SqlCmd so I can use alternate credentials to access the DB.  When I use the -Credential parameter I get the error it is not recognized.

    I am using the "SqlServer" module (21.1.18068), installed with -AllowClobber.  Not using SqlPS.  I saw a post that said the call had to be within a function... Seemed quirky, but I tried it anyway.  No joy.

    Here is a sample of the call:

    Invoke-Sqlcmd	-ServerInstance $Server		`
		-Database       $Database	`
		-Query          $Query		`
		-Credential     $Cred		`
		-Verbose
    All those variables are populated with appropriate values.
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.  It would seem that way, but:

    PS C:\> Get-Command Invoke-Sqlcmd
    CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source                         
    -----------     ----                                               -------    ------                         
    Cmdlet          Invoke-Sqlcmd                                      21.1.18068 sqlServer

    You clearly do not have the correct module installed.

    get-command invoke-sqlcmd

    Check.

    OK, I got one step further.  I found SqlPS module in $PSModulePath and renamed it.  Had to reboot to release the folder for rename.  That allowed SqlServer module to load the right Invoke-SqlCmd command, even though it seemed to be reporting as loaded previously.

    So, closing this question/post.  I'll have a new one about credential use...
