Are you on a 64bit version of Windows, and if so, did you set the policy using both the 32-bit and 64-bit PowerShell exe ? We had a similar error in the past because the policy had been manually set from a command line, which used the 64bit exe, but Jenkins was using the 32bit PowerShell.
32-bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 64-bit: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Chris Chris Williams Dell | PG Release Engineering From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve K Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 8:36 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Unable to exec Powershell on one slave. Hello, I have a job that uses Powershell to exec one of the build's build steps. The job can run, without problem, on either of two Windows XP slaves. If I attempt to run the job on a Windows 7 slave, I get the following error: "File C:\Users\lx00057\AppData\Local\Temp\hudson9076101655905735463.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system." I set the ExecutionPolicy on the problematic Windows 7 machine and am able to login directly to the machine and successfully execute Powershell scripts. I have tried setting the ExecutionPolicy to "RemoteSigned", "Unrestricted", and "Bypass". I have tried; restarting the slave service, restarting the Jenkins server, and rebooting the Windows 7 machine. Thanks in advance for your ideas.
