    Powershell Script .ps1 file Does Not Work When Executed Through Task Scheduler


    Hi there, I have created a .ps1 file which contains a RoboCopy script to copy files from a folder on my C: drive which contains a database, and paste them into a folder on my OneDrive so that they can be safely backed up to the cloud and have a history of changes.The code runs perfectly fine when executed manually By right-clicking the file in File Explorer and selecting 'Run with Powershell', the problem is that the backup needs to happen on a regular basis, hourly is ideal, so I created a task inside of Task Scheduler to repeat the task every hour. The task itself runs fine I tested this

    Setting .PS1 scripts default program to Powershell is soooooooooooo freak'in difficult

    In Windows 10, .PS1 by default program is set to notepad, yeah go wonder, even though the description for a .PS1 file is "Windows Powershell Script", then of course trying to set it to Powershell brings up a dialog that asks "Which app do you want it to
    set to" and of course there is no app named Powershell. Then the dialog wants you to search the computer to find Powershell even though it is Microsoft's major player in scripting, the Windows 10 can't find, I have to hunt and peck to find the executable.

    Powershell Scripts in the Windows 10 OS and script execution policy of "Allow only Signed scripts"

    We have the group policy " Turn on Script execution" enabled and set to "Allow only Signed scripts".

    Will this affect the powershell scripts used in the Windows 10 operating System or does windows have something inbuilt that overrides the settings we apply. I'm thinking that it would block even the W10 built in scripts.

    An example of what I am talking about are the 246 .ps1 files in the various diagnostic directories in c:\windows\diagnostics\system\ . our diags never come back with issues even when deliberately disabling components before running.

    other areas that Powershell scripts live that I have found with a quick search -

    C:\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_microsoft.powershell.odatautils_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.17763.1_none_d60dcab1d9234fab

    C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.PowerShell.Operation.Validation\1.0.1\Diagnostics\Comprehensive

    C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules - various folders in here.

    Do we need to sign all powershell scripts that come with the OS?

    Does Microsoft have a method of doing this?

    Is there a list of script files that come with the OS so we don't just do a sign all approach, then find we have signed malware files.

    we could probably configure something in the build task sequence to sign what is there initially. Is there any plan in place for Microsoft to start signing their scripts?

    Will this be an ongoing process as updates are applied and files replaced, do we need to have a process in place to sign all PS1 files in the OS?
