New-CMVhd error Not Found - SCCM 2012 R2 CU3

Question

When trying to execute New-CMVhd via powershell in SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 I get a "Not Found" error.
This happens in our production and pre-production environments.
Using the Console wizard works fine.
Command is:
New-CMVhd -Path "\\machine\D$\Windows2012R2Server_SCCM.vhd" -Name "Windows2012R2Server_SCCM" -Version "1.0" -VHDSize 100 -TaskSequencePackageId "XXX00123" -DistributionPointServerNames "server.contso.com" -Description "Built with Deploy Server To VHD Task Sequence." -Verbose
Output:
VERBOSE: Performing the operation "New" on target "Vhd: New".
VERBOSE: Executing WQL query: Select * From SMS_TaskSequencePackageReference_All where PackageID='XXX00123'
VERBOSE: Query options: None

Can anyone else reproduce this? I have a feeling it will be a premier support call to Microsoft :-(
Thanks

Hi,
Pls try to run the following command to import CM powershell module and change the path to be the CM server before your new-cmvhd command:
import-module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin\ConfigurationManager.psd1'
Set-Location CMserver:\
