PowerShell 7 support for local Service Automation Agent
planned
R
Roel Everink
Since Windows Powershell 5.1 doens't get any feature updates anymore, and Powershell 7 has some notable performance improvements it would be nice to specify the powershell version with which we want to run datasource and delegated form scripts with.
Also the helloid cloud agent only supports powershell 7, so it makes sense to also support this on a locally installed system.
=== Updated scope of this feature request ===
- Applies to the local Service Automation Agent (PowerShell data sources, Delegated Form tasks and new Product actions)
- Adds a new Agent configuration setting to support PowerShell 7
- The Agent can run Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7 not both. You need to setup an other Agent Pool with other agents to support both PowerShell versions)
- PowerShell 7 must be installed on the local system
- Default value remains Windows PowerShell, which is the current behavior

Great that its being planned!
Will this also be available for Provisioning? As we have the exact same setup there with the cloud agent and local agent.

Sebastiaan Lamers: At this moment we are working on several Agent and platform items in the background which we need to implement first. Therefore I can not give you an update about the planning. I will update this item and the roadmap as soon as we can.

We have scoped this feature to support one PS version per HelloID SA Agent. If multiple PS Versions are required; you will need to install multiple HelloID SA Agent and configure different HelloID Agent Pools

Karsten Meijers Thanks for reaching out. At this moment, we have not planned PowerShell 7 support on the local SA Agent, nor in the near future. We are currently focusing on the Governance features and Task data source deprecation. This feature request is still on the list, and we hope to provide you with another update by the end of this year.
