PowerShell Team

We’re excited to announce that Windows Management Framework 5.0 Preview February 2015, a new package introducing new and exciting management technologies, is now available for download on the Microsoft Download Center!

This Windows Management Framework (WMF) preview includes everything from WMF 5.0 Preview November 2014, plus some new features.

The following table provides an overview of new and updated features in WMF 5.0 Preview February 2015. 

You can read more about these improvements, and all the other content within WMF 5.0 Preview February 2015, in the release notes (included in the download with the packages). For information about Experimental and Stable designs, see the blog post, WMF 5.0 Preview: Defining “experimental designs” and “stable designs”.           

WMF 5.0 Preview February 2015 installs exclusively on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2012. You’ll need .NET Framework 4.5 installed to run WMF 5.0; you can also find that on the Microsoft Download Center, if you’re not running it already.

We’re excited to provide this new iteration of WMF to you all, and we’re happy to hear any and all feedback that you may have.

As usual, our main avenue of feedback is Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/Feedback

On behalf of everyone contributing to WMF, we hope you enjoy this Preview release.
