PowerShell The term is not recognized as cmdlet function script file or operable program


I am implementing a script in powershell and getting the below error. The sceen shot is there exactly what I entered and the resulting error.

enter image description here

At this path there is file Get-NetworkStatistics.ps1 which I got from Technet Gallery. I am following the steps from it, though there are errors.


Solution

  • You first have to 'dot' source the script, so for you :

    . .\Get-NetworkStatistics.ps1
    

    The first 'dot' asks PowerShell to load the script file into your PowerShell environment, not to start it. You should also use set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted or set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned see(the Execution Policy instructions).
