Running Unsigned Scripts

Scenario/Problem: You need to be able to run unsigned scripts within PowerShell.

Solution: Use the Set-ExecutionPolicy command.

To run unsigned scripts, you must change the execution policy:

Set-ExecutionPolicy remotesigned

You are prompted with a confirmation. Enter Y and press Enter (or just press Enter—Y is the default).

In some cases, you must set the policy to Unrestricted:

Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
