Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-417

Question #: 558
Topic #: 1

Your network contains several servers that run Windows Server 2012 R2 and client computers that run Windows 8.1.
You download several signed Windows PowerShell scripts from the Internet. You need to run the PowerShell scripts on all of the servers and all of the client computers. What should you modify first?

A. the environment variables on all of the servers
B. the environment variables on all client computers
C. the execution policy on all of the servers
D. the execution policy on all of the client computers

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
The default execution policy of the client computers is Restricted which will prevent the scripts running. Default execution policy of the servers is RemoteSigned which will allow the scripts.
The default execution policy of Windows Server 2012 is RemoteSigned meaning that as long as a valid signature is used on the scripts, they will run. However, the client computers have a default execution policy of restricted meaning that no scripts will run in PowerShell whatsoever, so this would have to be changed before the scripts could be executed on the client computers.
