I'm running Windows 7 Pro with PowerShell 4. The AD cmdlets I had been using have stopped working since upgrading from PSv3. I've enabled the Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell in the Windows features, but the cmdlets aren't recognized. When I try to manually import the AD module, I get the following:
import-module : The following error occurred while loading the extended type

I've been looking for minutes for a solution. I would've looked longer, but I can only find three search results for the phrase "PSPropertyAdapter" and none of them have anything to do with this error message. How can I fix this so my scripts will work again?
