Requirements
Platforms
Not every version of Windows supports every version of Powershell. The following table illustrates Powershell support across the Windows family. Included means that the base installation of the operating system includes the indicated version of Powershell.
Windows Version | PowerShell 2.0 | PowerShell 3.0 | PowerShell 4.0 | PowerShell 5.0 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Windows Server 2008 R2 | Included | Supported | Supported | Supported |
Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8 | Included | Included | Supported | Supported |
Windows Server 2012R2 / Windows 8.1 | Included | Not Available | Included | Supported |
Chef
- Chef 13+
Cookbooks
- windows 3.0+
PowerShell also requires the appropriate version of the Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed, if the operating system does not ship with that version. The following community cookbooks are used to install the correct version of the .NET Framework:
- ms_dotnet
Resources
powershell_module
Deprecated
The powershell_module
has been removed from this cookbook as it was non-functional for most needs and has been replaced with built in resources in chef:
Usage
Note: The installation may require a restart of the node being configured before PowerShell can be used.
default
The default recipe contains no resources and will do nothing if included on a run_list.

Include the powershell2
recipe in a run list, to ensure PowerShell 2.0 is installed. If the platform is not supported, a warning will be logged.
powershell3
Include the powershell3
recipe in a run list, to install PowerShell 3.0 is installed on applicable platforms. If the platform is not supported, a warning will be logged.
powershell4
Include the powershell4
