PowerShell Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered in SharePoint 2010
I’ve been doing a lot of development on one of my SharePoint 2010 Windows 7 machines lately and I deleted a bunch of site collections and generally cleaned things up to get ready for a new round of projects.
I popped open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell to get a feel for what was left and got the following error:
The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered.
What the heck?
I tried to run a quick Get-SPSite and got this:
Double what the heck? I thought for sure that I did something with one of my development projects…I had done a bunch of stuff with the using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration; at the top of my C# files so I was a little concerned. On closer inspection it wasn’t me (I don’t think). Look at this error: Microsoft SharePoint is not supported with version 4.0.30319.296 of the Microsoft .Net Runtime
From the errors it seems like an update I did suddenly had my SharePoint 2010 Management Shell using the wrong version of PowerShell or something.
In any case after a little searching I found a work around posted on a Microsoft PFE site: SharePoint 2010 Management Shell – .Net 4.0 runtime version error
The workaround posted didn’t work for me (so close but the order of the parameter was just a bit off) but one of the comments had the fix. I added a parameter to the startup target properties of the Shortcut.
I changed it from:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -NoExit " & ' C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\CONFIG\POWERSHELL\Registration\\sharepoint.ps1 ' "
To:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -Version 2 -NoExit " & ' C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\CONFIG\POWERSHELL\Registration\\sharepoint.ps1 ' "
Notice the –Version 2 parameter addition (it matters where it goes by the way) and voilà it all works again:
Whew, that feels great. And look I’m down to under 20 site collections, this won’t last long even on my dev box! (which by the way is a Mac Book Pro Boot Camped with Windows 7 and a full SharePoint 2010 Installation along with email!) I use Smarter Tools for the local email server and it works amazingly well)
Enjoy,
