'Get-WindowsFeature' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

When puppet runs it:

Failed to apply catalog: Execution of 'C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe Get-WindowsFeature | ConvertTo-JSON' returned 1: The term 'Get-WindowsFeature' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, functi on, script file, or operable program.

When I run it:

Sorry, this is on 2008R2

I have pinned it down to powershell modules not loading by default, one must explicitly import them by right clicking on powershell.

OK i failed back to an older version of code and all is well, I suspect something in this commit is to blame: https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-windowsfeature/commit/660090607da66f8dac83a39fd1485bfa43764f5f I suspect around 23 green
