Task Sequence was working fine with the following line

Add-provisioningPackage -path PathTo.PKG -forceinstall -QuietInstall

Now getting the below error in the smsts.log

add-ProvisioningPackage : The term 'add-ProvisioningPackage' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, RunPowerShellScript 9/05/2022 6:59:02 PM 1532 (0x05FC)

correct and try again. RunPowerShellScript 9/05/2022 6:59:02 PM 1532 (0x05FC)

    When I run the command manually from elevated PS this works as expected.

    Hi JayneThompson-5285,

    This command should be run from an elevated Powershell. Please try the following guide:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/provisioning/install-provisioningpackage

    I hope this answers your question.

    Thanks.
