Known issues

Installation succeeds even if .NET 4.5 is not installed

Scenario: Installing WMF 4.0 on a computer that is not running .NET Framework 4.5 will report that the installation is successful, but the components of WMF 4.0 (such as Windows PowerShell, WMI, etc.) will not be updated.

Solution: Install .NET Framework 4.5, and then run the WMF 4.0 installer again.

Update 30/10/2013: There’s an updated post on the PowerShell Team Blog which now describes this situation with .NET 4.5 as a pre-requisite in more detail.

———————————————————————————————–

PowerShell 4.0 which shipped as part of Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 is now available for down-level Windows versions via the downloadable Windows Management Framework 4.0.

WMF 4.0 contains updated versions of the following features:

Windows PowerShell
Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE)
Windows PowerShell Web Services (Management OData IIS Extension)
Windows Remote Management (WinRM)
Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI)

Additionally, we have added a new and exciting Windows PowerShell feature which is available in WMF 4.0: Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC)

To use this updated management infrastructure to manage Windows 7 SP1, Windows Embedded 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, and Windows Server 2012, WMF 4.0 must be installed on computers that are running the previously-released operating systems.

For this Release, WMF 4.0 installs only on the following operating systems:

Operating System	Service Pack Level	Editions
Windows 7	Service Pack 1	All
Windows Server 2008 R2	Service Pack 1	All except IA64
Windows Server 2012		All except IA64
Windows Embedded 7		All

Note that Windows 8 is not listed and you are required to take the free upgrade to Windows 8.1 to get PowerShell 4.0.

One important requirement that is worth taking particular notice of is that .NET Framework 4.5 is a pre-requisite. While you may have installed this on your Windows 7 machine, it maybe not that likely that you have installed it on your server installations.

While this information is in the release notes, there is nothing in the installation that warns you of this requirement and an installation attempt without it results in (IMHO) a slightly  bizarre outcome.

In this example I installed WMF 4.0 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system with the WMF 2.0 / PowerShell 2.0 combination that ships as part of the OS.

The OS currently contains .NET Framework 3.5.

Tip: You can quickly find your latest .NET version with the following one-liner

<br /><br />&amp;nbsp;<br /><br />Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDP' -Recurse | Get-ItemProperty -name Version -EA 0 | Where-Object { $_.PSChildName -match '^(?!S)p{L}'} | Sort-Object version -Descending | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Version -First 1<br /><br />
Having downloaded the correct WMF 4.0 version for Windows Server 2008 R2 I’ve started the installation:



Once the installation is complete, I check the version of PowerShell and discover that it is still 2.0.
<br /><br />$psversiontable<br /><br />

So nothing much seems to have changed! If you look carefully in the release notes though, installing without .NET Framework 4.5, results in two QFE hotfixes being installed.
Note: When you run the WMF 4.0 installation package, the following updates are installed first:

KB 2823180, which is the equivalent of the Windows Management Framework 3.0 Update. This update is not removed if you uninstall WMF 4.0.
KB 2872047 if WMF 3.0 is already installed on the computer.
KB 2872035 if WMF 3.0 is not already installed on the computer.

Examining these hotfixes we can see two hotfixes have been installed:

(Confusingly, one of these KB2809215, is actually the KB2823180 mentioned in the release notes.)
If we attempt to install WMF 4.0 again we are told that it already has been installed:

So, let’s see what happens if we install the .NET Framework 4.5 pre-requisite:


Test the install:

Now try the install again



After reboot, we can confirm we now have PowerShell 4.0.

Got a headache yet? The crux of the story is make sure you have .NET Framework 4.5 before installing WMF 4.0 🙂

This article describes the Windows Management Framework on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. The Windows Management Framework includes the following:

• Windows Remote Management (WinRM) 2.0
• Windows PowerShell 2.0
• Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 4.0

Windows Management Framework makes some updated management functionality in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 available to be installed on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Windows Management Framework contains Windows Remote Management (WinRM) 2.0, Windows PowerShell 2.0, and Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 4.0.

WinRM 2.0

WinRM is the Microsoft implementation of WS-Management Protocol, a standard Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)–based, firewall-friendly protocol that allows for hardware and operating systems from different vendors to interoperate. The WS-Management Protocol specification provides a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across an IT infrastructure.

WinRM 2.0 includes the following new features:

• The WinRM Client Shell API provides functionality to create and manage shells and shell operations, commands, and data streams on remote computers.
• The WinRM Plug-in API provides functionality that enables a user to write plug-ins by implementing certain APIs for supported resources and operations.
• WinRM 2.0 introduces a hosting framework. Two hosting models are supported. One is Internet Information Services (IIS)-based and the other is WinRM service-based.
• Association traversal lets a user retrieve instances of Association classes by using a standard filtering mechanism.
• WinRM 2.0 supports delegating user credentials across multiple remote computers.
• Users of WinRM 2.0 can use Windows PowerShell cmdlets for system management.
• WinRM has added a specific set of quotas that provide a better quality of service and allocate server resources to concurrent users. The WinRM quota set is based on the quota infrastructure that is implemented for the IIS service.

Windows PowerShell 2.0

Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language that is designed for system administration and Automation. Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows PowerShell enables IT professionals and developers to control and automate the administration of Windows and applications.

New features that are introduced in Windows PowerShell 2.0 include the following:

• Remoting

  Windows PowerShell 2.0 lets you run commands on one or more remote computers from a single computer that is running Windows PowerShell. PowerShell remoting allows for multiple ways of connecting. These ways include interactive (1:1), fan-out (1:many), and fan-in (many:1 by using the IIS hosting model).

• Integrated Scripting Environment

  PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) enables you to run interactive commands and edit and debug scripts in a graphical environment. The main features include color-coded syntax, selective execution, graphical debugging, Unicode support, and context-sensitive help.

• Modules

  Modules allow for script developers and administrators to partition and organize their Windows PowerShell code in self-contained, reusable units. Code from a module executes in its own self-contained context and does not affect the state outside the module.

• Advanced functions

  Advanced functions are functions that have the same capabilities and behavior as cmdlets. However, they are written completely in the Windows PowerShell language, instead of compiled C#.

• Background jobs

  Windows PowerShell 2.0 allows for running a command or expression asynchronously and «in the background» without interacting with the console.

• Eventing

  This feature adds support to the Windows PowerShell engine infrastructure for listening, forwarding, and acting on management and system events.

• Script internationalization

  This new feature enables Windows PowerShell scripts to display messages in the spoken language that is specified by the UI culture setting on the user’s computer.

• Script debugging

  New debugging features were added to Windows PowerShell that let you set breakpoints on lines, columns, variables, and commands, and that let you specify the action that occurs when the breakpoint is hit.

• New cmdlets

  Windows PowerShell 2.0 introduces over 100 built-in cmdlets. These cmdlets, excluding other tasks, enables you to do computer-related, event log, and performance counter management tasks.

BITS 4.0

BITS is a service that transfers files between a client and a server. BITS provides a simple way to reliably and politely transfer files over HTTP or HTTPS. File downloads and file uploads are supported. By default, BITS transfers files in the background, unlike other protocols that transfer files in the foreground. Background transfers use only idle network bandwidth in order to preserve the user’s interactive experience with other network applications, such as Internet Explorer. Foreground or typical transfers are also supported.

BITS 4.0 includes the following new features:

• Peer caching now uses Windows BranchCache. This new peer caching model replaces the model that is used for BITS 3.0.
• A more flexible resource access model allows for applications to associate a pair of security tokens to a BITS transfer job.
• The BITS Compact Server is a stand-alone HTTP/HTTPS file server that lets you transfer a limited number of large files asynchronously between computers.
• More precise bandwidth throttling.
