  • 1.  Powershell Scripts from DS6.9

    Posted Jun 13, 2014 03:20 PM

    We did a fresh install of our DS when we migrated to SP6 on a 2008 R2 box.  I wanted to start using Powershell scripts natively.  I have selected an external PS1 file in the DS job.  The client and the DS both have permission to access the PS1 file.  When I try to execute the file on a client, it says “Powershell Execution Policy is Restricted”

    On our clients, I used group policy Computer->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Powershell->Turn on Script Execution -> All  to enable this. 

    Using Get-ExecutionPolicy on the client itself, the policy comes back “unrestricted”

    I manually used Set-ExecutionPolicy on the DS server itself to unrestricted and it now also reports that it is unrestricted. I have tried running the job specifying credentials and without (our network share allows "Domain Computers" read access so the system account can access the share).

    I don’t know what else to try to make this work.  I do have work arounds that have a cmd file call a ps1 file locally which I’ve used in the past.  But I want this to work without having to do that workaround.

    Sounds like the x86 version of powershell may still be set to Restricted or vice versa. I'd try running get-executionpolicy on both versions locally on the client.
