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 to run and since I don't really know how to script with PowerShell.

Here is the command I'm trying to use to start with:

Get-AppLockerFileInformation -Directory <folderpath> -Recurse -FileType <type>

I don't really want to create a script for this as it would be much easier if I can just run one or two commands from a batch file with the rest of the stuff.

EDIT: Here is what I've tried so far.

1)

powershell -Command "Get-AppLockerFileInformation....."
Error: The term 'Get-AppLockerFileInformation is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program....

2)

powershell -Command {Get-AppLockerFileInformation.....}

No error with this way but I don't get anything back. If I use the Set-AppLockerPolicy... nothing happens.

3)

powershell -Command "{Get-AppLockerFileInformation.....}"
Error: The term 'Get-AppLockerFileInformation is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program....

4)

powershell -Command "& {Get-AppLockerFileInformation.....}"
Error: The term 'Get-AppLockerFileInformation is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program....

5)

powershell "& {Get-AppLockerFileInformation.....}"
Error: The term 'Get-AppLockerFileInformation is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program....

6)

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command {Get-AppLockerFileInformation....}

No error but nothing happens.

7)

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-AppLockerFileInformation...."

No error but nothing happens.

Answer 1

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 2

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 3

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

Take a look at powershell /?

Answer 4

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 "&".
