5. Although cloud management can be done with the Azure portal, advanced registered server functionality is provided through PowerShell cmdlets that are intended to be run locally in either PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 6+. PowerShell 5.1 ships by default on Windows Server 2016 and above. On Windows Server 2012 R2, you can verify that you are running at least PowerShell 5.1.\* by looking at the value of the **PSVersion** property of the **$PSVersionTable** object:

```powershell

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

```

If your **PSVersion** value is less than 5.1.\*, as will be the case with most fresh installations of Windows Server 2012 R2, you'll need to upgrade by downloading and installing [Windows Management Framework (WMF) 5.1](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=54616). The appropriate package to download and install for Windows Server 2012 R2 is **Win8.1AndW2K12R2-KB\*\*\*\*\*\*\*-x64.msu**.

PowerShell 6+ can be used with any supported system, and can be downloaded via its [GitHub page](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell#get-powershell).
