Execution Policy Unrestricted | Winrm / Admin Rights

[chwilfing]

Hi @VeronicaGeek,

out of curiosity - which part of the tool needs Execution policy - Unrestricted? I've just run without and as far as I see there are no impacts running with policy 'RemoteSigned'.

Also the Admin Rights as far as I are not required. My SFB Online Powershell does work without WinRM service running and the only error I receive running the retriever is the Access Denied starting the WinRM service, everything else seem to work?

@chwilfing: It seems the execution policy can be set to RemoteSigned indeed as the script will be run locally, and after testing, it works fine too on my machine. Something I'll change on the next release then...

With regards to the WinRM service, this is what I got with the service "Stopped":

It's halting the script, and needs manual intervention. However, when I choose "No", it seems to work fine still... Something I need to investigate with a Skype person I assume. I'll check that one.

Thanks for pointing that out 👍

On the admin rights: The whole script hangs on my Win 10 machine if it isn't running in an administrative context on the starting WinRM step
