ConvertFrom-Json

Question

I am trying to use ConvertFrom-Json in a scheduled task. I am running Windows 2012 with PowerShell v3. The script works when I run it from the PowerShell command prompt so I can use Windows scheduled tasks to run the command if need be but why will it not run in a Adaxes scheduled task?

I get "The term 'ConvertFrom-Json' 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." as the error.

Hello,

You cannot use the cmdlet in Adaxes because it was introduced only in PowerShell v.3, however Adaxes uses PowerShell v.2. We are planning to switch to a higher version of PowerShell in the future, but until that is done, you won't be able to use PowerShell v.3 features, such as the ConvertFrom-Json cmdlet.
