+#[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = $true</code>
+  - Uncomment, fill out the details, and save.
+  - Start a //new// Powershell session.
+  - Run ''Register-PSRepository -Default''
+  - Run ''Get-PSRepository'' again to verify.
+  - Once installation is complete, comment out commands and change password.
+If this doesn't work, and it won't for an ANZ Dev VM, try the [[powershell_manual_module_installation|PowerShell Manual Module Installation]].
