Recover mailbox database Exchange 2010

http://msexchangeguru.com/2010/05/23/exchange2010-recovery-database/

I am using the above linked article in order to recover an Exchange 2010 database on a newly reimaged SBS 2011 Server.  However when I reach Step 7 in the article, I'm stuck!

7. Now open Shell and type the command as shown:
  Get-MailboxStatistics -Database RecoverDB

 This will show the list of mailboxes in that database.


 When I type in the cmd, instead of displaying a list of mailboxes in that database, shell just goes right back to the following C:\Windows\system32 as if Shell is looking for another cmd:

C:\Windows\system32>get-mailboxstatistics -database recoverdb
C:\Windows\system32>


What gives?

I'd like to add that I know there is mailbox data in this database since it shows 14,557,248 KB in size.

Are you running the cmdlet using command prompt (cmd)?
