PowerShell Add-WindowsFeature unrecognized

This is probably because the PowerShell script is being launched from a 32 bit instance of PowerShell. The ServerManager commands are only available from 64 bit version of PowerShell. See: Can’t access ServerManager module via PowerShell

–Edit – To add to jbsmith’s comments—

Extra things to try:

When you ran the Get-Command cmdlt:

gcm | ? { $_.ModuleName -eq 'ServerManager' }

It will return nothing because the ServerManager module has not been loaded.

Try running this instead. It will list all available modules to load:

Get-Module -ListAvailable | ? { $_.Name -eq 'ServerManager' }

The other thing to try is to use the “Force” option (Re-imports a module and its members, even if the module or its members have an access mode of read-only):

Import-Module ServerManager -Force;
Get-WindowsFeature;
