Azure PowerShell says “execution of scripts is disabled on this system ”

  

PowerShell says “execution of scripts is disabled on this system ”

I recently resumed work with Azure Powershell and the first problem I encountered when I started to using PowerShell. The first cmdlet resulted in error…..

Remediation - As an Administrator, you can set the execution policy by typing this into your PowerShell window. There are three options, but “remotesigned” for current user will suffice. Avoid “unrestricted”, read more about the options, follow the reference section.

set-executionpolicy remotesigned -Scope CurrentUser

Check what you changed – should return remotesiged.

Get-ExecutionPolicy

PS C:\Users\partha> Get-ExecutionPolicy

RemoteSigned

Okay one done.. to get into next, now my machine does not have TLS 1.2. Hence have to use to allow SSL3, TLS1, TLS2. Just put these all 3 as values

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls11,Tls12'

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol

PS C:\Users\partha> [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol

Ssl3, Tls

A sigh of relief, all set to run the Azure Powershell but…. have to install the Azure modules… thus have to install AZ modules

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force

Install-Module -Name PoweShellGet -Force

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Import-Module -Name Az

PS C:\Users\partha> Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

PS C:\Users\partha> Import-Module -Name Az 

All AZ modules resides here… check in spare time.

C:\Users\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

And then finally can connect to Azure from PowerShell

Connect-AzAccount

Bingo!!!

Check Powershell Version

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
