If you have tried to run a PowerShell script that isn’t signed, you’ve likely run into the security error “File … cannot be loaded.  The file is not digitally signed.  The script will not be executed on the system. “  This means that the script is not trusted to be run on your system.

If you’d like to sign the script, here is a walkthrough:
