Using Package Management in Windows PowerShell v3

Hey now! The PowerShell team published a preview version of PackageManagement for Windows PowerShell v3 and v4. As it happens, I have a Windows 7 SP1 box running PowerShell v3–why not run a little experiment?

`$PSVersionTable.PSVersion Major Minor Build Revision

3 0 -1 -1 `## Preparing the Environment

You need .NET Framework 4.5 or later, so take care of that prerequisite before you install the following two assets:

• Windows Management Framework (WMF) v3
• PackageManagement PowerShell Modules Preview

I restarted the computer after each installation just to be safe.

Testing PowerShell Direct with Windows Server 2016 TP3 Hyper-V

Hey there! I  thought we could test PowerShell Direct together today. Here’s the elevator pitch: In Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10, we can send PowerShell commands from the Hyper-V host directly to its corresponding virtual machines (VMs), even in the absence of guest VM networking. Yeah, that’s cool, isn’t it?

What’s just as impressive is that PowerShell Direct works _even if PowerShell remoting is disabled on the guest VM! _PowerShell Direct also circumvents Windows Firewall. Note that PowerShell Direct requires that commands are sent only from a Hyper-V host to its local VMs.
