Problem with a package that calls powershell script

Question

The long story short: I'm trying to schedule a SSIS package, with SQL Server Agent, that runs a powershell script/command via a proxy account. The problem seems to be that proxy account didn't have the required permissions to run a .ps1 script, so I've
changed the execution policy to "Unrestricted" of everything that could be changed (from ps command prompt):
Scope ExecutionPolicy
MachinePolicy Unrestricted
UserPolicy Unrestricted
Process Undefined
CurrentUser Unrestricted
LocalMachine Unrestricted
So far, so good! But when I try to execute the SSIS package that calls the powershell script like this:
powershell.exe -file D:\script.ps1 -FileName testme
I get the error:
AuthorizationManager check failed.
+ CategoryInfo : SecurityError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecord
Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess
And when I try something more simple like:
powershell.exe -Command &{Get-ExecutionPolicy}
I get this:
Get-ExecutionPolicy : Access denied At line:1 char:3
+ &{Get-ExecutionPolicy}
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ExecutionPolicy], Managem
entException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Management.ManagementException,Microsoft.
PowerShell.Commands.GetExecutionPolicyCommand
It's worth mentioning that I can call the regular cmdlets: dir; get-content, whoami, so powershell.exe is working fine! Anyone with an idea what's going on here?

Check to make sure Windows Management Instrumentation service (WMI) is Enabled and running. If it’s disabled, try enabling it and starting it to see if that clears the error.
If all else fails, go to the path noted in the error and delete the PowerShell profile file.
