Corporate Proxy
I'm Behind a corporate proxy with windows authentication
I had to run the following lines for Register-PSRepository -Default to work

[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy = new-object system.net.webproxy('http://[YourProxyDNS]:[yourProxyPort]') [system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials [system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = $true

Powershell Profile
You can add these lignes in your powershell profile

Create the profile file if you don't have one
New-Item -path $PROFILE -type file –force

Edit the profile file
notepad $PROFILE

@sir-Higgins Thank you very helpful comment.

This helped me set things up on a Windows Server 2012 R2 system, running PowerShell v4.0.

1. Installed "PackageManagement PowerShell Modules Preview - March 2016"

2. Ran the following command you provided;

Register-PSRepository -Name PSGallery
-SourceLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/
-PublishLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/
-ScriptSourceLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/items/psscript/
-ScriptPublishLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/
-InstallationPolicy Trusted -PackageManagementProvider NuGet

3. Tested by installing the "SpeculationControl" module from Microsoft's PowerShell Gallery;

Save-Module -Name SpeculationControl -Path C:\Path\To\PowerShell\Modules\

Register-PSRepository -Default with WMF 5.1 it seems

PS C:\> Register-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -SourceLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/ -PublishLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/ -ScriptSourceLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/items/psscript/ -ScriptPublishLocation https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/ -InstallationPolicy Trusted -PackageManagementProvider NuGet
