The 'New-SmbMapping' command was found in the module 'SmbShare', but the module could not be loaded

While running a powershell script, I am getting the following error:

Error provided : 

The 'New-SmbMapping' command was found in the module 'SmbShare', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module SmbShare'.

However, SMB-Share is already there in system and Get-SmbShare, Remove-SmbShare, New-SMBShare works if called directly in console.

[Note] Powershell Information : 

1)Running Powershell version as administrator: Major:5 Minor:1  Build:18362  Revision:752

2)Running the code in windows 10 pro.

Add to the beginning of your script:

Import-Module SmbShare

The commands are available in your console because PowerShell auto imports them for you. Inside a script, it doesn't auto import the module. You have to explicitly import the module for the cmdlets to be available.
