To do that, we just need to change the second line of the batch file one more time: PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -Command "& "Īdding the -NoProfile parameter to both instances of PowerShell that are launched by the script means that the user’s profile script will be completely bypassed in both steps and our PowerShell script will run in a fairly predictable, default environment. It’s much simpler to run your script without the profile entirely so you don’t have to worry about this. Let’s get rid of that nasty custom profile notice now, shall we? Here, it’s hardly even a nuisance, but if a user’s PowerShell profile changes default settings, variables, or functions in ways you may not have anticipated with your script, they can be really troublesome. Step 4: Getting around custom PowerShell profiles. Then, put these lines in the batch script: So if your PowerShell script is called “MyScript.ps1”, you’ll want to name your batch file “MyScript.bat” and make sure it’s in the same folder. To make this work, the batch file will need to be placed in the same folder as your PowerShell script and have the same file name. So we don’t have to re-write the batch file for every script, or every time we move a script around, it’s going to make use of a self-referencing variable to build the file path for the PowerShell script. So, we’ll write a batch file to call the PowerShell script from the command line for us. Let’s start by addressing the first problem –. Fortunately, we can get around this without making any permanent changes as well. You probably won’t run into this often, but when you do it can make running and troubleshooting your scripts a bit frustrating.
Even running with an Administrator-level account, you still need to get through User Account Control (UAC) to perform certain actions. Some PowerShell scripts won’t work without Administrator permissions.However, this is also something you don’t want to do on just any computer.

We showed you how to change this setting in How to Allow the Execution of PowerShell Scripts on Windows 7. In some Windows versions, the default doesn’t allow script execution at all. The ExecutionPolicy setting in PowerShell prevents execution of external scripts by default in all versions of Windows.
This is to prevent accidental execution of malicious scripts by simply double-clicking them.
PS1 files to Notepad by default, instead of sending them to the PowerShell command interpreter. We brought this up initially in our PowerShell Geek School series. Unless the target system has been pre-configured to allow running of arbitrary scripts, with the required privileges, and using the right settings, chances are you’re going to run into some problems when you try to do this.
