运行任何Powershell脚本时出现Set-ExecutionPolicy错误

Question

I am getting below error while running any powershell script. It's happening on only one of the client's servers. I am not sure what is triggering this command.

If I change this registry key from RemoteSignedto to ByPass error goes away.

Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell -Name ExecutionPolicy -Value ByPass

For example I have below simple script of one line.

Read-Host -Prompt "Hit Enter to exit"

Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by
a policy defined at a more specific scope.  Due to the override, your shell will retain its current effective
execution policy of RemoteSigned. Type "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List" to view your execution policy settings. For more
information please see "Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy".

You need to Run as Administrator and then try to Set-ExecutionPolicy ..

or you can run powershell by this way also :

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass

or

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser
