You didn't seriously thought that a Windows Server 2003 has such limitations?!

I created a powershell script to convert my 1.4 repos to 1.7 some months ago, few months later we moved all repos to our Ubuntu development server and last month or so I upgraded svn to 1.8, without the possibility of a full dump/load because of my not working script anymore. One shouldn't start with platform specific console scripting anymore unless it's about really trivial stuff. It's to easy these days to change platforms.
