Description

Hi,

Currently, when we run the script and if an update is needed, then it asks confirmation to update but doesn't show the current (nor the updated version).

It would be very convenient to see the current script version before doing an update. It would help seeing how far behind the script is from the latest version.

Currently, it shows:

[PS] C:\temp>.\HealthChecker.ps1

Confirm Are you sure you want to perform this action? Performing the operation "Update script to latest version" on target "HealthChecker.ps1". [Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): File signed by CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US AutoUpdate: Signature validated. AutoUpdate: Succeeded. Script was updated. Please rerun the command. Do you like the script? Visit https://aka.ms/HC-Feedback to rate it and to provide feedback.

It could show the following (current version + updated version) :

[PS] C:\temp>.\HealthChecker.ps1

+ Exchange Health Checker version 24.06.13.2304

Research direction
This feature request is for the HealthChecker.ps1 script. The current script shows an update prompt but lacks version numbers. To implement, locate the script's version variable (likely `$ScriptVersion`) and the auto update logic (e.g., in a `Get AutoUpdate` or similar function). Modify the update flow to print the current version before the confirmation prompt and the new version after update. No comments or PRs exist yet; check the repository's issue #2104 for any updates.
