Get-ExecutionPolicy - Powershell 2.0 CmdLet

Microsoft Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting tool based on the Microsoft .NET Framework. It is designed for system administrators, engineers and developers to control and automate the administration of Windows and applications.

More than hundred command-line tools (so called "cmdlets") can be used to perform system administration tasks and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). These cmdlets are easy to use, with standard naming conventions and common parameters, and standard tools for piping, sorting, filtering, and formatting data and objects.

Get-ExecutionPolicy [[-Scope] {Process | CurrentUser | LocalMachine | UserPolicy | MachinePolicy}] [-List] [<Common

Description
The Get-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet gets the execution policies for the current session.

The execution policy is determined by execution policies that you set by using Set-ExecutionPolicy and the Group Po

Without parameters, Get-ExecutionPolicy gets the execution policy that is effective in the session. You can use the
 List parameter to get all execution policies that affect the session or the Scope parameter to get the execution p
olicy for a particular scope.
