Where is property: mid.sa.prefer_powershell

Todd36 — Tue, 12 May 2020 20:44:51 GMT

The documentation is rather confusing for what is default:

<https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/orlando-servicenow-platform/page/product/mid-server/reference/mid-server-parameters.html> says:
mid.sa.prefer_powershell
Enables MID Server to use PowerShell Remoting.
Type: true | false
Default value: false

Yet <https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0791835> says:
This setting is controlled by two MID Server properties, which both default to true:

mid.sa.prefer_powershell
mid.use_powershell

I found "mid.use_powershell" in mid configuration parms, default is false but I can't even find "mid.sa.prefer_powershell"

I was a little premature setting this as the solution as "mid.sa.prefer_powershell" is not available as a property to select, see attached.
