PowerShell – Change Default Profile and Digitally Sign $profile File

powershellwindows

I tried creating an ultimate setup for my powershell environment.

I created "Microsoft.PowerShell_profiles.ps1" with a bunch of statements to setup my default profile.

When I start a PowerShell session though, I get:

File C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 cannot be loaded.
The file C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 is not digitally signed. The script will not execute on the system.

The easiest solution is to

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

but that will run all scripts that are on the local disk (and are not in a Remote zone - like downloaded via IE)
