Get-ADUser is not recognized

[michcleary]

When I tried using this command, I get:
Get-ADUser : The term 'Get-ADUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path
was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Also, your SearchBase string isn't identified in your example. I'm not sure what those parts are referring to. Not very helpful page.

Same problem.

The error message tells you that PowerShell cannot find the Get-ADUser cmdlet. That means you do not have the module loaded.
You can easily add the AD RSAT tools to provide this module. Or use implicit remoting to import the module into your current PowerShell session.
Seachhbase is the OU you want this command to Target. This means the cmdlet just returns the AD uses in the specified OU or the OU and child OUs.
The port 3268 is the port to connect to the Global Catalog.
