Hi,

I'm doing server automation in a test environment, and sometimes the script shows the ExecutionPolicy before the script is run.

I wanted to know if this can be changed from within the script I'm running. I have tried many methods for changing it from the script with registry, using Set-ExecutionPolicy, using Bypass, all of them prompt for the below.

How can I change the execution policy during runtime for full automation.

Thank You

    Hi,

    I don't believe it can be set within the script as I believe that would somewhat defeat the point of the Execution Policy. Depending on your environment it can be set using the Set-ExecutionPolicy command, set by group policy or set manually.

    I do some bits with Task Scheduler to run automation script and I address it by setting it at the command line so a script can be run using:

    Powershell.exe -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\MyScript.ps1

    How are you planning to execute the scripts when you move to full automation?
