How does Adaxes 2025 handle Powershell 5 and Powershell 7 compatibility?

I am trying to run a script that uses the Vmware.Hv.Helper module to connect to a VMWare horizons server and pull usage data. After updating to 2025, this script fails and I am wondering if we can force Adaxes to use PS5.1 instead of 7.

How does adaxes know which version of powershell to use for a script?

Hello,

Adaxes 2025.1 only users PowerShell 7. It does not use PowerShell 5 at all. As such, you need to install the version of the module compatible with PowerShell 7 on the computers where Adaxes service runs and remove all the other versions.
