How to use Windows PowerShell for Active Roles 6.x and 7.x console on the same client machine -
Cause
There is a need in the environment to have both the Active Roles 6.x and 7.x console installed on the same machine and use Windows PowerShell.

Resolution
To select the ADSI version of Active Roles to access, the following syntax can be used using PowerShell/Active Roles Management shell to set the environment:
• $env:ActiveRolesAdsiVersion = "6.9" # For the 6.x versions
• $env:ActiveRolesAdsiVersion = “7.0” # For the 7.x versions
This has been tested on Windows 7 Enterprise workstation using Windows PowerShell v3. Works with or without the 6.9 Management Shell installed. Tested with both scenarios.
