Hi Kanan,

Support for PowerShell 2.0 has been withdrawn starting with Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit 3.3. Please update to PowerShell 3.0 or above (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh847837.aspx has instructions for different Windows versions) in order to use the cmdlets.

If you're using a previous version of the toolkit, all cmdlets can be used with PowerShell 2.0 - individual cmdlets are PowerShell version agnostic.

Hope this helps,
Aparajita

Any clues?

Hello @Ssmartodd,

Do you have any previous versions of the PSTK installed to your system?  If so, try to remove all of them before installing the current version.

Also, I found this article and this one, which may be useful.
