I'm trying to create a SAN ssl certificate using powershell but this error shows up (please click link below to see what I've typed in my powershell):

The term 'New-SelfSignedCertificate' is not recognised as the name of a cmdlet, function,script file or operable program.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

This is my powershell version:

What version of PowerShell are you running this on? – Owain Esau Jan 19 '18 at 05:54
@OwainEsau hi I've added the version to my question. – sarahtankr Jan 19 '18 at 06:18

@OwainEsau Thanks for your help – sarahtankr Jan 19 '18 at 06:25
I have installed the latest version of powershell i.e version 5 on windows server 2008 r2 but still see the same error. Any suggestions on what to do? It runs perfectly fine on windows 2016 server. – Zayn malik Jan 18 '19 at 09:22
