Does Deploy-AzTemplate.ps1 require PowerShell Core 6.x?

[mjcarrabine]

Deploy-AzTemplate.ps1 requires PowerShell Az.

PowerShell Az supports Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core (according to Introducing the new Azure PowerShell Az module):

With the Az module, Azure PowerShell is now compatible with PowerShell 5.1 on Windows and PowerShell Core 6.x and later on all supported platforms - including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Does Deploy-AzTemplate.ps1 require PowerShell Core 6.x?

PR #5972 added a call to Split-Path $TemplateFile -LeafBase which is resulting in me getting Split-Path : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'LeafBase' when I run Deploy-AzTemplate.ps1 using Execute Script in Visual Studio 2017 in a Azure Resource Group Project which is executing in Windows PowerShell.

Not requiring PowerShell Core allows me to continue to execute PowerShell from within Visual Studio using PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio's right-click --> Execute as Script functionality.

Current Line 18 in Deploy-AzTemplate.ps1

• Windows PowerShell - results in Split-Path : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'LeafBase'
• PowerShell Core - succeeds

  [string] $DeploymentName = ((Split-Path $TemplateFile -LeafBase) + '-' + ((Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()).ToString('MMdd-HHmm')),

  Alternate Line 18 in Deploy-AzTemplate.ps1

• Windows PowerShell - succeeds
• PowerShell Core - succeeds

  [string] $DeploymentName = (Get-ChildItem $TemplateFile).BaseName + '-' + ((Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()).ToString('MMdd-HHmm'),

I've pasted the alternate line to the script (the $Deployment assignment is now on line 19) but still get the same error.
