Ignore 'Security Warning' running script from command line

Question

I am trying to execute a script from shared folder that I trust:

PowerShell -file "\\server\scripts\my.ps1" 

But I get a security warning, and have to press 'R' to continue

Security Warning Run only scripts that you trust. While scripts from the Internet can be useful, this script can potentially harm your computer. Do you want to run \server\scripts\my.ps1? [D] Do not run [R] Run once [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "D"): d

Can I ignore this warning? The desired pseudo code I want is:

PowerShell -IGNORE_SECURITY_WARNING -file "\\server\scripts\my.ps1" 

Answer 1

This is touched in "PowerShell Execution Policies in Standard Images" on Lee Holmes' Blog and "PowerShell’s Security Guiding Principles" on the Windows Power Shell Blog .

Summary Some machines treat UNC paths as the big bad internet, so PowerShell treats them as remote files. You can either disable this feature on those servers (UncAsIntranet = 0,) or add the remote machines to your trusted hosts.

If you want to do neither, PowerShell v2 supports an -ExecutionPolicy parameter that does exactly what your pseudocode wants. PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File (...).

Answer 2

To avoid warnings, you can:

Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass
