Hi,
I have been trying to run Get-Compliance to get information from our Update Manager 5.1 U2. When I execute the command it crashes Powershell. Are these versions not compatible?
Thanks!

When you have installed PowerShell v3 or V4, you can run it in version 2 mode.
From a command prompt, just type
powershell -version 2

Try starting PowerShell with
powershell -version 2

Thanks Luc. I'm not even sure where I'd find 2.0 at this point..
I had .NET 4.5.1 installed and have now upgraded to 4.5.2. In the release notes(Exceptions in Windows PowerShell, other dynamic languages, and dynamically executed C# code when cod...) it suggests to do the following if your still have issues:
Add a cast to System.Type within the call to method SizeOf or method PtrToStructure. For example:
$size = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SizeOf([System.Type] $type)
$obj = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStructure($ptr, [System.Type] $type)Trouble is, I have no idea what this is :smileyconfused: ... do you ?
Thanks!

thanks !
This worked for me as well. Thanks, Luc!
this works,but is there a fix in the works for this. I have to re-write some of my script to get it to work in version 2.
thx,
Scott
