“The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered.” and “Microsoft SharePoint is not supported with version 4.0.30319.296 of the Microsoft .Net Runtime.”

Recently i got this warning when starting SharePoint 2010 Management shell.

The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered.

And if a tried to run a SharePoint command i got this error.

Get-SPAlternateURL : Microsoft SharePoint is not supported with version
4.0.30319.296 of the Microsoft .Net Runtime.

Solution

Create a new shortcut where you specify the powershell version you want to use or simply modify the existing shortcut.

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -version 2 -NoExit  " & ' C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\CONFIG\POWERSHELL\Registration\\sharepoint.ps1 ' "

I modified the existing shortcut to include –version 2 which makes it work.
