Issue installing Powercli through powershell

Having issues getting it working onsite, they use a proxy

I now get the error message

. : File C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1 cannot be

loaded because its operation is blocked by software restriction policies, such as those created by using Group Policy.

Tried below link and changed it to unrestricted and its still the same

Any ideas on how best to get this working again? I think they may have created a policy so its not in use here but wanted to do my own checking first

It looks like a GPO issue which is being enforced and then inherited by this machine. You'd need to check with the AD admin to see what is being linked here.

Hi,

Please make sure the powershell Execution Policy has been set properly on your system (Set-ExecutionPolicy ), Also please note that there are 2 versions of powershell on system (32 and 64bit) and each has it's own Execution policy. You can check the current policy with Get-Executionpolicy command in powershell.
