Domain controller - powershell

Question

Hi!

I have four WS2008R2 domain controllers and I want to install powershell version 5.1 only on one domain controller. Current powershell version on all four domain controllers is 2 or so.

• is it possible to have 5.1 powershell version on one domain controller and on other three to have old version
• will it cause some trouble to have different ps versions
• will installing powershell 5.1 ask for restart

I need version 5.1 to pull information with some script which has minimum supported powershell version of 4

Thank you!

Best regards.

Hi @WW-6729 ,

Shouldn't be a problem to install PowerShell 5.1 on just one of your Domain Controllers, it shouldn't cause any issues in the domain functionality itself.

For more information on installing newer PowerShell version, see:
