Powershell 4 Issue when executed Through Kace
Hi One and All,
Got a bit of a puzzle. I have a script I'm trying to push out through KACE (a BAT file that then launches PS script). The PS script works fine when I run it directly on the machine rather than launching it through KACE, however stops part way through and just sits there if I go through KACE. The script is in the same location as are the dependent files in both instances. This seems to only be happening with devices that have Powershell V4 installed. Don't suppose anyone has come across this before?
Hopefully the script is readable, it's probably not the most elegant as I've just started to really dig into Powershell
It fails at # Install New Information@Work client (v5.1)
The bat file contains the following...
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -version 2 -Command "Start-Process Powershell -Verb RunAs" "\\server\packages\Information@Work_5.1_Corp\Install.ps1"

Try:
Doing it this way just sets the execution policy for the session.
"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -Version 2 -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -WindowStyle Hidden -File "\\server\packages\Information@Work_5.1_Corp\Install.ps1"
Doing it this way just sets the execution policy for the session. Also do you need the RunAs verb? Can you not elevate the BAT sufficiently via KACE? - captain_planet 6 years ago
