[Xymon] [External] PS client enhancement of ServiceCheck

[Beck, Zak]

Hi

It's your use of -inotin that is not working with Powershell v2 - v2 does not support in/notin.

The workaround is this:

(0..6 -notcontains $MaintDay) -or (0..23 -notcontains $MaintStartHour)

I have included this in the latest version but I'm testing some other updates before release.

Thanks

Zak

Tim, does starting powershell.exe with the command line parameter of "-Version 2.0" help at all?

Zak, all

I pushed my revised script out to a few servers. Most all have upgraded powershell, but a few 2008 & 2008R2 still have PS v2. Script will not start, but no clear error about why. It runs fine on the '08 servers with PS v3, v4, or v5. The ones with v2 seem to be running the script in a v1 instance. Error: Program C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe for service XymonPSClient exited with return code 4294770688. Any way to force it to run in v2? Or do you see anything in the new function that would choke v1?
