I just typed the follow to try and get my SharePoint site:

$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://nycs00058260/sites/usitp"

It gave me the following error

The term 'Get-SPWeb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script…

The url is correct so why am I getting this error?

I think this need to be run from the Management Shell rather than the console, it sounds like the module isn't being imported into the Powershell console. You can add the module by running:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell

in the Powershell console.

If your param($p) is not the first line in your script that can cause the Param error.

Make sure your param($p) is the first line.

& "C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestExecute 8\Bin\TestExecute.exe" C:\temp\TestProject1\TestProject1.pjs /run /exit /SilentMode

[System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start("C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestExecute 8\Bin\TestExecute.exe", "C:\temp\TestProject1\TestProject1.pjs /run /exit /SilentMode")

UPDATE: sorry I missed "(I invoked the command using the "&" operator)" sentence. I had this problem when I was evaluating the path dynamically. Try Invoke-Expression construction:

Invoke-Expression "& `"C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestExecute 8\Bin\TestExecute.exe`" C:\temp\TestProject1\TestProject1.pjs /run /exit /SilentMode"
