PowerShell 3 quick switch to PowerShell 2
PowerShell 3 improves on PowerShell 2 by adding almost 500 new cmdlets built-in. One drawback unfortunately, is cmdlets or scripts written for version 2 do not always work as expected.
If you need to quickly switch to version 2 while you are in PowerShell 3 type the following.
PowerShell.exe -version 2
You will see the copyright info change to 2009 and if you type get-host it will display version 2.
To switch back to version 3 you can either close and re-open PowerShell or simply type in your current session
[sourcecode language=”powershell” padlinenumbers=”true” gutter=”false”]
PowerShell.exe -version 3
[/sourcecode]
