There are certain scenarios in which you can follow the steps suggested in the other answers  verify that Execution Policy is set correctly  and still have your scripts fail  If this happens to you  you are probably on a 64-bit machine with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of PowerShell  and the failure is happening on the version that doesn t have Execution Policy set  The setting does not apply to both versions  so you have to explicitly set it twice   Look in your Windows directory for System32 and SysWOW64   Repeat these steps for each directory    Navigate to WindowsPowerShell v1 0 and launch powershell exe  Check the current setting for ExecutionPolicy   Get-ExecutionPolicy -List Set the ExecutionPolicy for the level and scope you want  for example   Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine Unrestricted   Note that you may need to run PowerShell as administrator depending on the scope you are trying to set the policy for   You can read a lot more here  Running Windows PowerShell Scripts

Your script is blocked from executing due to the execution policy   You need to run PowerShell as administrator and set it on the client PC to Unrestricted  You can do that by calling Invoke with   Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

I had a similar issue and noted that the default cmd on Windows Server 2012 was running the x64 one   For Windows 7  Windows 8  Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012  run the following commands as Administrator   x86  Open C  Windows SysWOW64 cmd exe Run the command  powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned  x64  Open C  Windows system32 cmd exe Run the command powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned  You can check mode using  In CMD  echo  PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE  In Powershell   Environment   Is64BitProcess  I hope this help you

The problem is that the execution policy is set on a per user basis  You ll need to run the following command in your application every time you run it to enable it to work   Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned   There probably is a way to set this for the ASP NET user as well  but this way means that you re not opening up your whole system  just your application    Source
