The PowerShell team released Windows PowerShell 5.0<\/a> on Windows 10\u00a0last year and just re-released Windows Management Framework (WMF) 5.0<\/a> for earlier versions of\u00a0Windows. But, we know from years of experience that many people don’t upgrade their versions quickly. It takes time to get to know and trust a new version. In a large enterprise, it takes time to do the parallel testing to certify\u00a0that a\u00a0new product is secure and compatible with the software that the\u00a0organization uses.<\/p>\n

Take the survey:<\/strong> Which version of Windows PowerShell do you use?<\/a><\/p>\n

For those of us who are writing scripts and modules to share, this is a big issue. Must I support a particular PowerShell version? How many people and organizations will I exclude if I use a DSC solution that requires PS 4.0, or a module that requires PS 3.0?<\/p>\n

YOU CAN HELP!<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve built a quick 5-question,\u00a0multiple-choice (with\u00a0optional comments)\u00a0survey to gather this data. We\u2019ll use the data to inform our design decisions and share it with the community.<\/p>\n

Please take a few minutes and complete the survey. Then, share it with friends and colleagues. The more data we have, the more we\u2019ll know about our community.<\/p>\n

Take the survey<\/strong>: Which version of Windows PowerShell do you use?<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have questions or comments, please let us know. And, thanks. Every data point helps.<\/p>\n

Previous survey:\u00a0 How do you run scripts?<\/h2>\n

In case you missed it, SAPIEN Technologies, Inc. sponsored a survey late last year asking the community how they run Windows PowerShell scripts. You can view the survey results<\/a> and read our analysis<\/a>. If you have comments or questions, let use know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
