Vista - Bypassing Security Prompt in Unrestricted Mode

Hi

Is it possible to set powershell not to display the security prompt if it is
running in unrestricted mode. My company deploys scripts using a proprietary
tool that runs hidden as the system account and the user would not be able to
press the appropriate key in order to accept the script. Thus, it seems as
though the only possible way to set up this situation is either to sign the
scripts (difficult in our scenario) or find some way to prevent that security
message from appearing.

Thanks,
Jason

Don't think you can. if the script isn't on the local machine you will get
the prompt

Bummer...so the only real option here is to sign the scripts?

Or copy and run them locally. Can I ask why you are running these scripts?

I assume you have Powershell installed on all the clients, have you thought
about using Powershell Remoting from /n software? They have really
reasonable license cost.

My company has a program that we use to deploy a variety of scripts for such
things as automated installs, setting changes..etc.

So are you telling me that if the script is copied to the hard drive first,
it will not prompt?

That is correct (at least if you have UNC set as local intranet.)

It is probable that most of what you want to do can be done remotely. I
manage 500+ servers and I only have powershell installed on 4 machines.

Well i'm not so sure. My branch offices are not on a WAN with the home
office. I would think the program would have to be installed on every pc on
which the script rns.

In that case you will need the script locally in the remote office
