LocalGPO compare fails with error

  • 772

I was trying to run LocalGPO on my Windows 7 system with its "/Compare" option to compare the current policies with that of a backup. However, the process fails with an error in a Windows Powershell window:

File C:\SETUPGCB{5653F460-EF17-4E5A-AD23-CB535B495411}\LocalConfig\CompareLocalConfig.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details. At line:1 char:37 + .\LocalConfig\CompareLocalConfig.ps1 <<<< + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], PSSecurityException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException

For reference, "C:\SETUPGCB{5653F460-EF17-4E5A-AD23-CB535B495411}" is the GPO backup that I am comparing the current system configuration to.

What specifically do I need to do to successfully run LocalGPO's compare function?

Thanks!

    Your PowerShell script execution policy is preventing the script from executing.

    From an elevated Powershell prompt execute Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted and you'll be able to execute unsigned scripts.
