What Can I Do With Windows PowerShell?
Using the Set-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet
|
Changing the Windows PowerShell Script Execution Policy
The Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet enables you to determine which Windows PowerShell scripts (if any) will be allowed to run on your computer. Windows PowerShell has four different execution policies:
| • | 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 assign a particular policy simply call Set-ExecutionPolicy followed by the appropriate policy name. For example, this command sets the execution policy to RemoteSigned:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
