I am starting to learn (work) with PowerShell. On my work laptop I have installed SQL Server 2012 DE. Also using PowerShell 3.0 at the OS level. On our Windows Server 2008 systems we have installed PowerShell 4.0. The version of SQL Server installed on these servers is SQL Server 2008 R2 SE.Here is the question.Can I install the SQLPS module and supporting files from SQL Server 2012 on the Windows Server 2008 systems and use them at the OS level (PowerShell 4.0) to access work with our SQL Server 2008 R2 instances?If I can, is there any thing I need to do to make it work? I have been searching to internet for answers and not finding much that really seems helpful. Some of seems to contradict itself at times.At this time everything we are currently writing in PowerShell is external of SQL Server. I am not sure if we will be implementing anything in PowerShell inside of SQL Server.
