[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 589390, member: 32260"] I decided to defer solving the case of signed scripts. I rarely use scripts, but it seems, that most scripts downloaded from the Internet are not signed. There are many signed PowerShell scripts in 'C:\Windows\diagnostics\' subfolders, but they can be run safely with Hard_Configurator 'OFF' setting. This setting means that scripts can run, restricted by the ExecutionPolicy value in the Registry (default value=Restricted): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell] "ExecutionPolicy"="[I]Restricted[/I]" [I]Restricted - [/I]No scripts can be run. Windows PowerShell can be used only in interactive mode. [I]AllSigned - [/I]Only scripts signed by a trusted publisher can be run. [I]RemoteSigned - [/I]Downloaded scripts must be signed by a trusted publisher before they can be run. [I]Unrestricted - [/I]No restrictions; all Windows PowerShell scripts can be run. Default value is 'Restricted' which is safer than 'AllSigned' or 'RemoteSigned', and all scripts can be 'Run with PowerShell' using Explorer context menu (even scripts invoked by other scripts). I think that in enterprises the situation is different. Administrators can sign their scripts and set ExecutionPolicy to [I]AllSigned, [/I]forcing others to use only signed scripts. Anyway, I may be wrong. o_O [/QUOTE]
