I am trying to set up a new web server instance.
I am using the command New-NAVWebServerInstance -blahblah -blah -etc
but the PS is telling me the following

Use the Administration shell, not the Development Shell as you have.

If you want/need to use Development shell you need to use import-module command and pass the full path to the NavAdminTool.ps1 module (it usually lives in c:\program files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\<version>\Service\ )

I do not see the admin shell or the NavAdminTools.
The only thing in my nav folder is the RoleTailoredClient.

Do these things usually reside on the server installation?

Yes if you selected the option "Install Administration Tool" during installation. It is basically a shortcut to the Powershell with a command line to import the NavAdminTool.ps1 module. It looks like this:

C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -NoExit -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned " & ' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1 ' "

The shortcut lives in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Create it manually, or can start a Powershell command line as an administrator, issue the import-module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1" command, and you will have all cmdlets available

if you don't have NavAdminTool.ps1 file then start setup and add it from here.
