# Powershell script to upgrade a PowerShell 2.0 system to PowerShell 3.0
# based on http://occasionalutility.blogspot.com/2013/11/everyday-powershell-part-7-powershell.html
#
# some Ansible modules that may use Powershell 3 features, so systems may need
# to be upgraded.  This may be used by a sample playbook.  Refer to the windows
# documentation on docs.ansible.com for details.
