Windows PowerShell must be updated to a version that supports script block logging on Windows 2008 R2.
Description
Discussion Text
Later versions of Windows PowerShell provide additional security and advanced logging features that can provide greater detail when malware has been run on a system. PowerShell 5.x includes the advanced logging features. PowerShell 4.0 with the addition of patch KB3109118 on Windows 2008 R2 adds advanced logging features.
PowerShell is updated with the installation of the corresponding version of the Windows Management Framework (WMF).
Updating to a later PowerShell version may have compatibility issues with some applications. The following links should be reviewed and updates tested before applying to a production environment.
