PowerShell from Deployment Package

How to run PowerShell script via Deployment Packages?

[keys_it · Accepted solution]

We have issues with just running this way due to the execution policy (for security reasons we do not change the default).

A better way to avoid having this issue is to run PowerShell commands and scripts this way in a command step:

PowerShell Commands

powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -command {"commands go here"}

PowerShell Scripts

powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file "{PackageShare}\Scripts\script.ps1"

This will guarantee that PowerShell commands and scripts run as intended.

In a command step you can use the command

powershell "[powershell command]"

Open a cmd on your computer and type

powershell -help

in order to see details about which parameters are available.
