Hello,
I receive the following error message after importing the module WebAdministration in my script on Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) powershell console:
The term 'Get-WebAppPoolState' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
with the command import-module WebAdministration -verbose, I can see that command Get-WebAppPoolState is well imported.
Do someone get the same error? Do you have any recommandation?
regards,
Tarik

Hello,
I have the same issue on both powershell console 64 and 32-bit but using the "Import-module WebAdministration -Global" command in my .ps1 script, I solved it.
thank you for your answer anyway.

I have had problems using the (x64) version of Powershell before. Try using the one in the regular Powershell path (C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\Powershell.exe. This is the 64-bit version. I had this specific problem a while back and using the one under this path resolved the issue. Here is the reference, although it was different, where I learned to always trust the standard path and not worry too much about the 32-bit version in 64-bit OS'es:
