[chef] RE: Re: Troubleshooting powershell_script resource

[Kapil Shardha < >]

Thanks Julian! I will look into it. Looks like it was added in the newer 
version of chef-client. 

In general, it will be great for chef documentation to add information 
regarding relevant chef version. That way, it will be much more clear.

Thanks

You might consider using the convert_boolean_return parameter to actually 
raise an error if the Powershell script fails.
