PowerShell 2.0 *is* supported for Exchange 2007 SP2

In case you wondered, the greatly improved PowerShell 2.0 can be installed on servers running Exchange 2007. But you must be running Service Pack 2.

BTW: You cannot find PowerShell v2 on www.microsoft.com/downloads. You have to go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929.

    Per,

    You mention Service pack 2 of Exchange 2007 is required before Powershell 2.0 can be installed. I have heard tht abefore, but I cannot find any official statement of this. Do you know where I could find this.

  2. Even in PowerShell v2. the Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Admin snapin is only for PSVersion 1.0

    The fact that they say its compatible with PowerShell v2.0 is false.

    Name : microsoft.exchange.management.powershell.admin
    PSVersion : 1.0
    Description : Admin Tasks for the Exchange Server

    [PS] C:\windows\system32>get-host

    Name : ConsoleHost
    Version : 2.0
