Q. How do I enable tab completion when using a restricted custom PowerShell endpoint?
A. When using a constrained endpoint in PowerShell you may find autocomplete does not work. This is because the tab complete is actually enabled via a function called Function:TabExpansion2 which is not available. To fix simple may the function available in the constrained endpoint via the VisibleFunctions parameter, for example:
New-PSSessionConfigurationFile –ModulesToImport OneMOD, ActiveDirectory ` -VisibleCmdLets ('*OneMOD*','*AD*') ` -VisibleFunctions ('TabExpansion2') -VisibleAliases ('exit') –LanguageMode 'ConstrainedLanguage' ` -SessionType 'RestrictedRemoteServer' –Path 'c:onemodonly.pssc'
