I downloaded the PoshRSJob module. When I try to import the module it always throws the following error (translated from German):
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ipmo "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PoshRSJob"
ipmo : The File "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PoshRSJob\Scripts\TabExpansion.ps1" could not be loaded. The File "C:\Program

Our ExecutionPolicy is RemoteSigned
Is there a way to get this module working in a RemoteSigned environment, without Bypassing the Executionpolicy everytime I use the Module in a Script, and without setting the ExecutionPolicy to Unrestricted?
It might be that Windows is treating the files as remote files despite being on your machine locally. Sometimes Windows will know when files have come from the internet (for example if you download through IE or Edge instead of say, Firefox). Behind the scenes, this is storing zone information in an alternate data stream associated with the file, but that can be modified or stripped off.
Right click the PSD1, PS1, PSM1 files inside the module and choose "Properties" and if there's an unblock option, make sure it's unticked.
Alternatively you could run the cmdlet Unblock-File if you have PowerShell 5.1 or greater.

I've recently discovered the Windows Terminal and wanted to give it a try. However, it doesn't seem to work the same as the original PowerShell Console. When I try to call a script function in it like . .\Func-Test.ps1; My-Func -test abc it says:
My-Func : The term 'My-Func' is not recognized as the name of a
cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling
of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again. At line:1 char:15
. .\Func-Test; My-Func -test abc
~~~~~~~~

Doing the same in the classic PowerShell Console works without any issues. Both consoles use the same $PSVersionTable.PSVersion which is 5.1.19041.1682.
Am I using the Windows Terminal incorrectly or isn't this supposed to work in it (yet)?
I fixed it by executing as Administrator this command in the Windows Terminal. Strangely the PowerShell Console already showed RemoteSigned. Apparently they use different environments.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine
I was trying these power forensics command from the powerforensics website the 1st two commands worked perfectly while the next 3 commands gave errors, I am sharing one of the errors below. Please tell me the solution to get rid of this error. enter image description hereWhat's wrong with the path of the cmd?
Command - PS C:> Get-ForensicFileRecord -Path C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe

link which I followed for this tutorial: https://powerforensics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modulehelp/Get-ForensicFileRecord
PS: This command worked fine in one of my friend's machine but its throwing error for my machine.
You dont have the module installed in your system. It doesn't come by default.
So, what you need to do is below:
#To Find the module
Find-Module -Name *Forensic*
The Module name is actually PowerForensics. So, you can install it using:
Install-Module -Name PowerForensics
Press A, to Confirm All installation.
Then,
#To Import the module
Import-Module PowerForensics
#To Get all the available commands in the module
Get-Command -Module PowerForensics
I get below error when i try to execute the command "Import-module script.ps1"
any idea why is that shows up? what need to be done to resolve the issue ?
PS C:\File> Import-module script.ps1

You need to use .\ to execute scripts, commands from current directory. i.e. ipmo .\script.ps1
As a security feature, PowerShell does not run executable (native)
commands, including PowerShell scripts, unless the command is located
in a path that is listed in the Path environment variable $env:path or
unless you specify the path to the script file.
To run a script that is in the current directory, specify the full
path, or type a dot .\ to represent the current directory.

I am trying to run virtualenv script to activate it on powershell using:
.\env\Scripts\activate.ps1
but I get this error:

I read this article and I tried to solve this by running powershell as administrator and type this command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
but unfortunately nothing change
According to this earlier asked question there are a few other things you can try:
PowerShell says "execution of scripts is disabled on this system."
To summarize from the link:
If you are running from a windows server make sure you set the execution policy on all versions of powershell that you have on the system(both x64 x86 versions of powershell)
OR
Run the following to bypass the Execution Policy:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File script.ps1
I tried the solution given from: Specify the size of command prompt when executing a batch file
I ran:
powershell -command "&{set-executionpolicy remotesigned; Import-Module SetConsoleFont; Get-ConsoleFontInfo | Format-Table -AutoSize}"
But I get these errors, any ideas?
Set-ExecutionPolicy : Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell' is denied. At line:1 char:22 + &{set-executionpolicy <<<< remotesigned; Import-Module SetConsoleFont; Get-ConsoleFontInfo | Format-Table -AutoSize} + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-ExecutionPolicy], UnauthorizedAccessException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetExecutionPolicyCommand

The term 'Get-ConsoleFontInfo' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

I have put the file SetConsoleFont.psm1 in
C:\Users\Adrian\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SetConsoleFont
You say "You're not allowed to set the execution policy" well maybe I'm not, but it's my machine so why shouldn't I? I don't want to execute these commands as Administrator, just as a user, me (Adrian)
Another comment was to try set-executionpolicy bypass process
so I tried:
powershell -command "&{set-executionpolicy bypass process; set-executionpolicy remotesigned; Import-Module SetConsoleFont; Get-ConsoleFontInfo | Format-Table -AutoSize}"
But got even more red errors.
I have no idea what powershell is or how to use it, I just want to change the font from a batch file without hassle!
Try set-executionpolicy bypass process instead.
Also make sure you have put the module in a module path folder such as:
[yourprofile]\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules
I managed to get it working but only in a PowerShell console, and I had to run it as Administrator. However this is not practical for me for the following reasons:
I wish to change the font of new window seamlessly from a batch file, which will be run by users of the software. They may not have Administrator access and so cannot execute "set-executionpolicy remotesigned" which I needed to do to get it working.
Also this has to be done in a DOS batch file, so opening up a powershell window is not an option. It only works in a PowerShell window and not with the DOS "powershell -command" option.
So a partial answer.
If you want to change Execution Policy, it should be done in an elevated prompt.
And loading the module can be done by giving absolute path. Example is below.
Import-Module c:\users\testuser\desktop\SetConsoleFont.psm1 -Verbose
and we can bypass execution policy like below.
powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -command "${<your code>}"
Edit: The imported module will be available only in the scope of the script block.
here it is with in {}. So whatever cmdlets and functions in side the module should be executed in sided the scriptblock.
