About this tag
Script logging on Windows systems is discussed in the context of Microsoft's removal of PowerShell 2.0 from Windows images. The legacy runtime, first shipped in 2009, included features like remoting, jobs, and an expanded scripting surface that standardized automation. Microsoft deprecated PowerShell 2.0 in 2017 and has now begun removing it to reduce the attack surface and simplify the PowerShell ecosystem. This change affects script logging practices, as PowerShell 2.0 had its own logging capabilities that may no longer be available. Users are encouraged to migrate to newer PowerShell versions for continued script logging support.
