powershell sccm import-module error

Question

Have downloaded the sccm powershell module from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46681

Installed via the .msi no issues. On import, like so:

>     Import-Module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin\ConfigurationManager.psd1' -Verbose
> 
> Output (first few lines, many more snipped for brevity, then the

The DLL associated with the error is quite recent:

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin> dir AdminUI.PS.DatabaseReplication*


    Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin


Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name

-a---          4/6/2015   4:00 AM      40112 AdminUI.PS.DatabaseReplication.dll

Looks like the install failed since I don't see any commands:

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin> Get-Command -Module ConfigurationManager | measure-object

Not sure how to proceed from here

Looks like the issue is that the SCCM we are running "System Center 2012" rather than "System Center 2012 R2"

After much searching I see this for "System Center Configuration Manager Cmdlet Library":

The following versions of Configuration Manager are supported in this release:
System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager

Whereas the original download site says:

Supported Operating System

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2

And of course I was blissfully trying to do this from windows 7.

Sigh. Looks like we need to update SCCM to R2 just to get pwoershell to work with it.

[edit] found that SP1 also has cmdlets so I'll have to get the folks who control our SCCM server to upgrade to at least that...

/blush/ TL;DR To use the System Center Configuration Manager Cmdlet Library, you must install the following: Windows PowerShell 3.0 System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager console — sdjuan, May 01 '15 at 16:58
