SCCM 2012: enable powershell execution policy for SCCM 2012 console

Question

Hi,
I always get stuck settings up the remote sccm 2012 powershell (cd psdrive sitecode:). Maybe not a real sccm 2012 question but Powershell but wonder what steps you take to make it work (it works on our production environment, setting up in a lab always gives
me headaches, will defintely write the solution down this time :-)).
Please advise what the steps are in configuring remote powershell for SCCM 2012.
1.my personal account "Myuser" has admin-rights in sccm 2012
2.I can open Powershell logged on to the sccm 2012 server then opening sccm 2012 console, connect via powershell
3.however, when I connect remote to the sccm server, I get the error:
. : File C:\Users\Myuser\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 cannot be loaded. The file C:\Use
rs\MyUser\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run this scr
ipt on the current system. For more information about running scripts and setting execution policy, see about_Execution
_Policies at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
4.So I connect to the sccm-server and ask for the execution policy to unrestricted, I get this:
set-executionpolicy unrestricted
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): y
Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successf
ully, but the setting is overridden by a policy defined at a more specific scope
There is no policy which sets any powershell configs.
Please advise.

Answer 1

Those client settings are only for the actions performed by the ConfigMgr client. Normal PowerShell actions are restricted to the configured execution policy on the machine.
