All the user profiles on my test server were deleted. Now, dbatools is not working. Invoke-DbaQuery runs fine in version 5.1. When I run it in 7.2.2, I get the following error message.
Invoke-DbaQuery : The 'Invoke-DbaQuery' command was found in the module 'dbatools', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module dbatools'.
When I run Import-Module dbatools, I get the following error message. Any idea how I can resolve this?
Import-Module : Couldn't import dbatools library | Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=7.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. The system cannot find the file specified.At line:1 char:1

I think you may have correctly identified the problem... Someone who is more knowledgeable about PoSh than I may have a bit of magic that I don't know about but I'm pretty sure that whoever is running the PoSH code is going to need privs on the server. That might also be done in a "trusted" fashion using an AD group (Active Directory).

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Can you confirm that your DbaTools library is stored in the same location as found when running the following?

$env:PSModulePath -split ';'

(As I think some file locations differ between PoSh and PoSh Core.)
