Hello:

We have sharepoint 2007 application server, we want to run powershell command on it.

i am getting error while running command:

$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($siteURL)

i am getting the message that "exception calling .ctor with 1 argument(s) the web application could not be found".

Any thoughts in this regards.

Thanks

Is the URL ($siteURL) only to the site? It can't point to a library or page. http://server/sites/thesite

Does the account running PowerShell have permissions to the SharePoint content?

Are you running SP2007 32 bit with PowerShell 32 bit, or SP2007 64 bit with PowerShell 64 bit?

Are you running PowerShell 2.0? If later, try powershell -version 2

Is your SharePoint 32 bit or 64 bit? They should match.
