What are the plans for making PowerShell 7 the default on Windows Server?
Will PS5.1 Windows‑management cmdlets (like Get‑Disk, Get-NetIPAddress, Get‑ADComputer, and other RSAT cmdlets) be available in PS7 as well? I’ve seen hints about this topic in other talks this Summit and would love more details on the vision.

we don't have anything to promise yet. But rest assured, we hear the feedback loud and clear, and we're actively investigating this, so stay tuned! Meanwhile, please manually install PowerShell 7 on Windows Server by running winget.exe install 9MZ1SNWT0N5D and give it a try. Run your typical commands or scripts, and see how it works. Most, if not all, Windows management cmdlets, including Storage and Networking, should just work already. If you find issues, incompatibilities, or unwanted behavior changes from PowerShell 5 to PowerShell 7, please send us a note on the forum. You can also participate in PowerShell development directly or submit issues via GitHub. Thank you!
