.NET Core, Windows Nano Server, and System.Management.Automation

Question

Nano is a server-based operating system optimized for cloud computing. It does not have a local user interface and does not support local login. According to this information about Windows Nano Server, it does not contain the full .NET Framework, but the .NET Core. It makes sense so far.

The .NET libraries contained in Core are listed here . Some of them are full, some are not. But I do not understand that System.Management.Automation is not listed completely.

This library is used to use PowerShell cmdlets in .NET applications. Given how important PowerShell is today for system administrators, in particular, this omission in the light of Nano Server seems simply strange.

Does this mean that this means that the System.Management.Automation function is not available on Windows Nano Server?

Answer 1

You may need to use the latest version of PowerShell for the .NET kernel - https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases

Link to the dll from the downloaded package, and you should be able to run the powershell command.
