while entering add odbc dsn details using powershell command prompt dsn type not executing

The Set-OdbcDsn command has no output when successful. Check that it completed successfully with

Get-OdbcDsn -Name $ODBCConnectionName -DsnType System

Some issues you might see though:

  • You must be running as an administrator to create System type DSNs
  • If you create a User type DSN, only the user running the command will be able to see it
  • Many applications only check for new DSNs on startup, and will need to be restarted
