I am running, windows7 using sql server 2008 R2.
any idea how can i solve it.
Are you using the Sharepoint Management Shell? Try to run from there and it should recognize the cmdlet.
Not sure if you figured it out but try running the Sharepoint Management Shell and it should recognize it.
For windows 7, go to Microsoft Sharepoint products from there you need to select Sharepoint 2010 management shell
Did you try running the SharePoint Management Shell in elevated mode (Right click –> Run As Administrator)?
