SOLVED Creating Device Collection using Powershell

[puckstop34]

Hello,

I am trying to create numerous collections using Powershell and am receiving the following error. Currently using 1910 and never had issues prior to updating to 1910. From what I am seeing, the "New-CMDeviceCollection cmdlet is no longer available and can't locate the replacement

The script being used is below:
$Schedule = New-CMSchedule -RecurInterval Days -RecurCount 1
$NewCollection = New-CMDeviceCollection -Name "Script Test" -LimitingCollectionName "Test" -RefreshSchedule $schedule -Comment "Test Collection"
$NewCollection.RefreshType = 6
$NewCollection.Put()
Move-CMObject -FolderPath ".\DeviceCollection\Software\Testing" -InputObject $NewCollection

The error is below:
PS C:\Windows\system32> $Schedule = New-CMSchedule -RecurInterval Days -RecurCount 1
$NewCollection = New-CMDeviceCollection -Name "Script Test" -LimitingCollectionName "Test" -RefreshSchedule $schedule -Comment "Test Collection"
$NewCollection.RefreshType = 6
$NewCollection.Put()
Move-CMObject -FolderPath ".\DeviceCollection\Software\Testing" -InputObject $NewCollection

Before using the ConfigMgr Powershell cmdlets, you have to import the related module, more details:

• PowerShell – Connecting to Configuration Manager
