My first Windows PowerShell (WPS) script, essentially, “Hello World”, results in the following
File E:\hello.ps1 cannot be loaded because the
execution of scripts is disabled on this system.
Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details.
Whee. This is security mechanism, but it’s probably not what you want by default. Instead, open PowerShell and execute:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
There is also the PowerShell Community Extensions resource for useful third-party cmdlets.
