Goodmorning.

$folders = Get-ChildItem -Directory -Path "C:\Folders"

My collegue (Same machine, both are admins) can see this method

$folders[0].isInheritanceBlocked (Boolean)

I don't.

Could you tell me why and how can I see the method (I saw it is a ScriptProperty)
Thanks a lot.

Enrico

    Your collegue must have installed a module that extends the properties but did it only for his account.

    Both of you should run Get-Module to see what modules are available. (Add the -All switch if you don't see a difference.)

    You can install a module for all users by adding the Scope switch. 

    Install-Module -Scope AllUsers
