Same PowerShell Server for both Exchange and Office 365 connectors

Is it possibile to have only one Windows machine that host the PowerShell Server component?

I'm asking because in the Exchange Connector Application Guide there is a screenshot that shows PowerShell Server must be configured for PowerShell V2.0

on the other hand, in the Connector Data Sheet for Office365 a prerequisite says: "Note: While installing PowerShell server you must select 'PowerShell V3.0' . This will install PowerShell SSH server in PowerShell version 3.0"

Thanks and regards,

Gabriele.

What versions of PowerShell will PowerShell server work with?
Applies to: All
Yes. PowerShell Server works with PowerShell V2 and up. During installation you will have the option to choose which version you want to support. PowerShell V3 or higher is recommended if available.

My assumption on the screen shot in Microsoft Exchange Application Guide which indicates to choose PowerShell V2, is due to the fact that the server which it was installed had only PowerShell v2.

When you have PS v2 installed, in the installation you will see only v2 as available.

When you have PS v4 installed, then other options will be available during the installation.

Hi Boris,

thanks for the answer. May you also clarify the following: because we have only one AFX server for all the connectors (Exchange and Office 365 included), do we have to buy a PowerShell Server license or we can use the free one (that is: Single Server License - 1 Concurrent Connection)?

In my opinion, the free addition can be used when you are testing or doing a POC.

For production env, you definitely need more concurrent connections.

it really depends on the planned volume.

Imagine a scenario when you have a new user and you want to provision AD, exchange, skype and home drive.

Assuming you are using ssh for: exchange, skype and home drive and each of them has a different connector.

In that scenario, potentially you can have 3 concurrent connections to the powershell server.
