.withButtons([
    'columnsToggle',
    'colvis',
    'copy',
    'pdf',
    'excel',
    {
        text: 'Some button',
        key: '1',
        action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
            alert('Button activated');
        }
    }
]);

I get Unknown button type: 'columnsToggle', and 'colvis' but when I remove 'columnsToggle', and 'colvis' from code it run without any problems but other button not display except custom button

{
    text: 'Some button',
    key: '1',
    action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
        alert('Button activated');
    }
}

I had the same problem as you and I find out all the datatables-buttons js files needed to be included:

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/dataTables.buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.bootstrap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.jqueryui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.colVis.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.flash.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.html5.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/datatables-buttons/js/buttons.print.js"></script>
