Powershell not interacting with Quotas but GUI works fine

I have a Windows 2012 server and have run:   

  • Install-WindowsFeature FS-Resource-Manager -IncludeManagementTools

I can use the GUI to get to Quotas, and create a new Quota on a folder.  That quota works as expected.

However, when I run the powershell CMD-let to look at the setting, nothing happens.

  • Get-FSRMQuota -path "c:\temp"
  • Get-FSRMQuota "c:\temp"
  • Get-FSRMQuota c:\temp

All just return with no output to stdout, and a zero return code.

Creating a variable and setting the return likewise results in zero data.

Running Set-FSRMQuota for a different size to that setup in the GUI likewise doesn't generate an error, doesn't generate any stdout, and doesn't actually change the setting.

Running Remove-FSRMQuota for the path likewise doesn't generate an error, doesn't generate any stdout, and doesn't actually remote the quota.

I am running powershell from a CMD started as administrator, and that has had no benefit.

This is all on the local server, within the same session.  GUI works, Powershell doesn't but doesn't generate errors.

Sure enough, now works.
