We found that the environment variable PATH needed to have a line added to 
recognize these system 32 commands.

Had to go to MY COMPUTER / PROPERTIES / ADVANCED / ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES and in 
the SYSTEM VARIABLES, prefix the path with the following:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;

File/Save the path, then the commands work
