I finish up my nifty little profile, giving our support team a few lazy functions to a) make connecting to 365 quicker, b) backup things in case any apprentices/1st liners get a bit adventurous and it doesn’t work out in their favour - everybody wins.
I stick it on my colleagues computer as my test subject, and it spins up a “Only run scripts you trust” error, only with an option to ‘Run Once’… I have used Unblock-File now and it’s fine, but I can’t run that on every machine!
I’m storing this in Documents\WindowsPowershell\Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 (alongside ISE version)
I was considering a start-process powershell.exe -ArgumentList “-executionpolicy bypass $home\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1” but surely this will require approval of it’s own?
Any ideas would be much appreciated, I’ve included the code below (sharing is caring).
Steven.
