I am receiving the following error when I run the command ImportSystemModule, I understand it probably has something to do with Server 2008 Admin Pack being installing on my computer running Windows 7. Any help to sort this out would be appreciated.by DonJ at 2012-09-13 11:53:37

The Windows 7 RSAT isn’t compatible with anything but Windows 7. If you’re trying to do this on another OS, it won’t work.by juneb_msft at 2012-09-14 11:32:12
As an alternative, if you have a machine where this module exists (like a domain controller running 2008R2), and that machine has PowerShell Remoting enabled, then yo ucould implicitly remote the module from that machine.
I’d be interested in knowing why you were using ImportSystemModules. We removed it from PowerShell 3.0 because we now have module auto-loading. Are you using it for something strategic?by chrisb at 2012-09-18 08:50:14
I’m having a similar issue. I was diong the same thing and getting this error:
