I am trying to run this command PsConfig -cmd secureresources in the Windows PowerShell ISE. But I am getting following errors:

Psconfig: The term 'Psconfig' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again...

The reason I am running this command so I can fix the search indexing issues which is explained in this forum:

Can you please help me to sort this issue out?

You can simply use the SharePoint Management Shell instead which has pathing for psconfig, but instead, use PowerShell. Initialize-SPResourceSecurity is the replacement for that specific command.

  • So you mean i can use Windows power shell and run this command instead? Initialize-SPResourceSecurity?

    You can use the SharePoint Management Shell, or if you use the standard Windows PowerShell, you need to first run Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell in order to load the SharePoint PowerShell module. But yes, you can (should) use that cmdlet instead.
