When you are running a PowerShell script, you might get the error:

System.Management.Automation.PSSecurityException : File Test.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details.

 

Solution

In development set the execution policy to Unrestricted.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

PowerShell script (runs a function from an custom assembly)

Param
(
    [String]$Connection = "",     #The database connectionstring
    [String]$Folder = ""            #The AppPool UserName
)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Ada.Cdf")
$dd = new-object Ada.Cdf.Deployment.DatabaseDeployment
$dd.ExecuteReCreatableScriptsInFolder($Connection, $Folder)

 

Unittest

        [Test]
        [Explicit("Not a unittest")]
        public void RunExecuteReCreatableScriptsInFolder()

            // Run a PowerShell script with two parameter and set execution policy to Unrestricted
            RunPowershellScript(@"C:\Temp\Test.ps1", parameters);
        }

        private static void RunPowershellScript(string scriptFile, List<string> parameters)

  2. Hello,

    Great article, helped me a lot.!!

    I am having a issue while running specific set of Powershell command, which is Move-SPUser.

    This the command I am using:
    Param
    (
    [String]$FBAUserName = “”, #FBAUserName
    [String]$ADUserName = “” #ADUserName
    )

    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
    $user=Get-SPUser -Identity $FBAUserName -Web “http://testserver:1010”
    Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias $ADUserName -IgnoreSid -Confirm:$false

    Parameters get 1. FBA User Name (eg: i:0#.f|fbamembershipprovider|callen)

    2. AD User Name(i:0#.w|Domain\username)

    using your code the file execute fine without any error but end result is not displayed ie. Move of user never happen.

    I am doing something wrong here.

    Thanks
    AKshit
