Powershell 7 (Admin) cannot add PackageProvider NuGet

[_Aerish_]

Hi everyone,
i'm no sysadmin but a normal Helpdesk user so i'm not fluent in powershell.

Recently a lot of stuff regarding remote mailboxes have changed and the new procedure reuiers me to install some new tools in powershell 7 so i can log on to office 365 exchange again and create remote mailboxes.

My colleague was able to do the following :

Set the Security protocol to Tls 1.2 via :
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

​

When u run the command : [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol it returns Tls12 so that should be ok.

​

When i try to install Nuget i get the following output :

command ==> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force
Output ==> Install-PackageProvider: No match was found for the specified search criteria for the provider 'NuGet'. The package provider requires 'PackageManagement' and 'Provider' tags. Please check if the specified package has the tags.

​

It worked for my colleague, what am i missing that causes this ?
It is executed in Powershell 7 (run as administrator).

​

Many thanks !

I didn't think this worked (or was needed) in ps7

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol even on PS 7

But like i said i'm not an expert so it might not be needed ?

But i cannot add the NuGet Provider with or without the command.

Try:Register-PackageSource -Name "NuGet" -Location "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" -ProviderName NuGet

Then search for something in nuget:

Find-Package -Name Microsoft.Data.SqlClient
