    My notes for obtaining the Execution Policy for PowerShell.

    Get The Execution Policy

    Not a whole lot is needed for this command. It’s main purpose is to check the configuration of the execution policy. The Get-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet will provide the current status of the execution policy.

    Get-ExecutionPolicy

    Below is the output as an example.

    RemoteSigned

    If review of the execution policy for the different scopes is required. The -List flag can be used. This will list the ExecutionPolicy set for the various policy scopes for review.

    Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

    The possible output as an example. This machine doesn’t have a whole lot configured. So it should be using the default ExecutionPolicy.

    
        Scope ExecutionPolicy
        ----- ---------------
MachinePolicy       Undefined
   UserPolicy       Undefined
      Process       Undefined
  CurrentUser       Undefined
 LocalMachine    	Undefined
