What Can I Do With Windows PowerShell?
Using the Get-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet
|
Listing the Windows PowerShell Script Execution Policy
The Get-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet simply tells you which of the four execution policies (policies that determine which Windows PowerShell scripts, if any, will run on your computer) is currently in-force. The Windows PowerShell execution policies include the following:
| • | Restricted – No scripts can be run. Windows PowerShell can be used only in interactive mode. |
| • | AllSigned – Only scripts signed by a trusted publisher can be run. |
| • | RemoteSigned – Downloaded scripts must be signed by a trusted publisher before they can be run. |
| • | Unrestricted – No restrictions; all Windows PowerShell scripts can be run. |
To determine the execution policy simply run the cmdlet without any parameters:
Get-ExecutionPolicy
To change the execution policy, use the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet.
