PowerShell Script (.PS1) Deployment through EM module

Solution:

To deploy a PowerShell script using SecPod, you can leverage software deployment through the Endpoint Management (EM) module. Follow the steps below for a successful deployment:

Steps to Deploy a PowerShell Script:

1. Prepare the Script for Deployment:
   • Create a ZIP file containing the .PS1 script.
2. Upload the Script to SecPod:
   • Navigate to EM -> Actions -> Software Deployment.

• Click on the Upload button.

• Select the option Compressed (ZIP/GZIP/TAR) Installer Package.

• Upload the ZIP file.
2. Edit the Uploaded Package:
   • Locate the uploaded script under the User Uploaded section.
   • Click on the Exclamatory icon to edit the package. (Refer to the screenshot for details.)

4. Update the Required Fields:
   • Ensure the following fields are configured correctly:
     • Silent Option: Not required for PS1 scripts.
     • Extract Location: Specify where the script should be extracted.
     • Run File Name: Enter the name of the PowerShell script file.
5. Install the Script:
   • Select the ZIP file and click on the Install icon.

• Choose the target devices for installation and click Next.

• Provide task details such as Task Name, Schedule, etc., and click on Create Installation Task.

Handling PowerShell Execution Policy:

By default, PowerShell scripts may be restricted from running due to execution policies. To address this, you have two options:

1. Run the following command on the target device manually:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

2. Include the following line within the script to bypass execution restrictions:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you can successfully deploy a PowerShell script using EM module.
