I am trying to use the PowerShell command 'Get-FileMetaData' however PowerShell ISE outputs the following error:
Get-FileMetaData : The term 'Get-FileMetaData' 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.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-FileMetaData E:\Test_Output
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-FileMetaData:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
The path is correct, I have also tried various existing paths. I cant find anything about what version this command requires, but using $PSVersionTable.PSVersion output states 'Major 5' so I believe I am using PS v5.
Has anyone else had issue with this command? I have found various forums mentioning its function, but cant find much on troubleshooting it.
Thanks for any help!
That is not a core PowerShell cmdlet so I would expect that to fail for most people. As far as I know that comes from the Script Gallery GitHub. You need to download that first.
So if you want that to be loaded then take that module will need to be imported either manually or automatically.
