Configuring Windows PowerShell
• Ensure that you have Administrative privileges on the Dell business client system.
• By default Windows PowerShell has its ExecutionPolicy set to Restricted. To run the Dell Command |
PowerShell Provider cmdlets and functions, ExecutionPolicy must be changed to RemoteSigned at a
minimum. To apply the ExecutionPolicy, run Windows PowerShell with Administrator privileges, and
run the following command within the PowerShell console:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -force
NOTE:
– If there are more restrictive security requirements, set the ExecutionPolicy to AllSigned. Run
the following command within the PowerShell console: Set-ExecutionPolicy
AllSigned -Force
– If using an ExecutionPolicy based process, run Set-ExecutionPolicy each time a Windows
PowerShell console is opened.
• To run Dell Command | PowerShell Provider remotely, you must enable PS remoting on the remote
system. To initiate remote commands, check system requirements and configuration requirements by
running the following command:
