PowerShell v7 instead of Microsoft PowerShell v5.1 in the script activity of SCORCH 2019

Question

Do you know if I can use PS v7 instead of Microsoft PowerShell v5.1 in the script activity of SCORCH 2019?

Answer 1

Hi, the steps are:

• Install PowerShell Core on the Runbook Server(s)
• Enable Remoting
• Invoke PowerShell with pwsh {#yourscript } in

   $Result = pwsh {
       $version=(get-host).Version
       return $version
   }2>&1

Answer 2

Hi @carlos , there is a workaround to use PowerShell 7 with SCORCH: https://www.miru.ch/how-to-execute-64-bit-powershell-scripts-in-system-center-orchestrator/ Instead of the 64bit PowerShell executable you have to provide the exe of PowerShell v7 in the script followed by the scriptblock in curly brackets.
