Assistance with Error - virtualmachinemanager.psd1 module cannot be imported, one or more members are not valid.

Question

Hello,
We use Orchestrator, System Center 2012 version 7.1.3022.0.  I have an orchestrator script that reads through a txt file to find unresponsive virtual machines (Windows 2000 VM's cannot have the SCOM agent installed on them) so we can restart any
machines that are not responding. 
The step to Get Computer/IP Status runs successfully in that it reports which VM's are running and which are not running.  The next step then is to run a Powershell script that restart the VM's that are down.  Here is my Powershell Script:
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
try
Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\Virtual Machine Manager\bin\psmodules\virtualmachinemanager'
Get-VMMServer -ComputerName mlivsmsscvmm
# get vm object
$vm = get-SCVirtualMachine | where { $_.ComputerName -eq "\`d.T.~Ed/{A255D4D8-BD4D-4FF4-9A51-B1ABA82720B9}.Computer-name\`d.T.~Ed/" }
# save data to publish for future activities
$OrigVMMStatus = $vm.StatusString;
$AlertAdded = "\`d.T.~Ed/{A4B4EC8A-E4F8-40AB-9897-6906EAE139AE}.TimeAdded\`d.T.~Ed/";
$VMName = $vm.Name;
# we are at this point because the VM is not responding.
# Start VM - if VM status is "Running" then Stop the VM first
if($vm.StatusString -eq "Running")
{ Stop-SCVirtualMachine -vm $vm -force };
Start-Sleep -s 20;
if($vm.StatusString -eq "Stopped")
{ Start-SCVirtualMachine -vm $vm
$VMrestart = "Yes"
catch
Throw $_.Exception
Upon running the Powershell script I receive the following error in Orchestrator Log histry:
The 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\Virtual Machine Manager\bin\psmodules\virtualmachinemanager\virtualmachinemanager.psd1' module cannot be
imported because its manifest contains one or more members that are not valid.
This script used to run without errors and nothing has been upgraded in our environment with regards to Orchestrator, VMM, SCOM.  How would I find the 'one or more members' that is causing my issue?
Thank you.

Hi,
the thing is that PowerhShell in the "Run .Net Activity" is version 2.0 (http://www.sc-orchestrator.eu/index.php/scoblog/102-running-powershell-30-with-the-run-net-script-activity)
So, try your script embedded in PowerShell {}
