@sidsolutions-net the Test-NetConnection command is only available from the Windows PowerShell NetTCPIP module. You'll need to have the Windows PowerShell module loaded to be able to use the command. You may need to make sure your Windows PowerShell module locations are present in $env:PSModulePath to be able to load the module by name, otherwise you can always load it directly by the full path.
