The term 'Get-AdmUser' is not recognized

Question

I am getting the following error...

The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.PSCredential' threw an exception.

The term 'Get-AdmUser' 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.

My powershell scripts have been working for months and then suddenly... BOOM! They started throwing this error.

Here is the script that I have been using to strip group memberships as part of our Account Move process.

Import-Module Adaxes
    $user = Get-AdmUser "%distinguishedName%" -Properties MemberOf
    if ($user.MemberOf -ne $Null)
    {
        foreach ($groupDN in $user.MemberOf)
        {
            Remove-AdmGroupMember $groupDN -Members $user  -Confirm:$False
        }
    }

Hello,

Did you reinstall or upgrade Adaxes lately? If you did, did you also install Adaxes PowerShell module? It is not installed by default, it is an optional component.

How to install

Adaxes has been running fine for the last 6 month or more. No modifications were made to it. It just quit working.

Hello,

We noticed that you receive the following error: The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.PSCredential' threw an exception. It can occur because of a bug in .Net Framework 3.5. Try restarting your Adaxes service. This should resolve the issue.

That actually resolved my issue! Thank you! I guess I will need to remember to restart the service when I get script errors.
