Two things. 1. Windows machines have a 32bit and 64bit powershell. 2. Jenkins will typically run on the 32-bit JVM which means when it invokes powershell it will invoke the 32bit version.
It sounds like you have Set-Execution Policy on the 64bit version but not 32bit. You might want to configure your Jenkins to run on 64bit as there are a few powershell cmd-lets (ClusterManager,Exchange and maybe AD) that only run on the 64bit powershell. -barrett On Thursday, December 13, 2012 2:12:36 PM UTC-5, mwpowellhtx wrote: > > This is helpful: > http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/PowerShell-plug-in-question-td1468725.html > > After that it's the usual troubleshooting script issues from different > runtime contexts. > > On Thursday, December 13, 2012 1:06:13 PM UTC-6, mwpowellhtx wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> We've got some Windows PowerShell scripts I would like to expose >> throughout our jobs for natural house keeping steps. >> >> I've got the Set-ExecutionPolicy set appropriately and I can run scripts >> apart from Jenkins through the command line, with PowerShell (i.e. context >> menu), etc. >> >> Running through the PowerShell task doesn't work at all, it fails.
