Get-ExecutionPolicy

• If you'll need to know what execution policy is in use before you attempt to run a script. You can find out by using the Get-ExecutionPolicy command.
• This will show the current status of Execution policy.

Get-ExecutionPolicy

Four levels of security exist:

• Restricted — Restricted is the default execution policy and locks PowerShell down so that commands can be entered only interactively. PowerShell scripts are not allowed to run.
• All Signed — If the execution policy is set to All Signed then scripts will be allowed to run, but only if they are signed by a trusted publisher.
• Remote Signed — If the execution policy is set to Remote Signed, any PowerShell scripts that have been locally created will be allowed to run. Scripts created remotely are allowed to run only if they are signed by a trusted publisher.
• Unrestricted — As the name implies, Unrestricted removes all restrictions from the execution policy.
