When providing script to customers, Script will not execute unless they did set-executionpolicy.
What is the common practice when providing a script to customers?
Whether set-executionpolicy would be run as first command in script so that it would execute without any error or some documents will be captured about set-executionpolicy.
I am giving powershell script first time to our customers. Previously i simply use to execute in our environment so i did not think about it.
Some one please help me to get some light on this

The Set-ExecutionPolicy uses the ExecutionPolicy parameter to specify the RemoteSigned policy. The policy is set for the default scope, LocalMachine. The Get-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet shows that RemoteSigned is the effective execution policy for the current PowerShell session.
Select Start > All Programs > Windows PowerShell version > Windows PowerShell. For Remote Signed, run Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned . For Unrestricted, run Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted .
The Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet uses the ExecutionPolicy parameter to specify the RemoteSigned policy. The Scope parameter specifies the default scope value, LocalMachine.
The only security risk is that someone might write malicious script on your local computer and you execute it without knowing what is it. This is the most recommended. Default on Server editions. And Unrestricted in highly insecure, letting you to run unsigned scripts from any source.
One approach:
Also a send a bat file as a wrapper to the .ps1 which will do something like:
@powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File script.ps1
