Unable to run workflows - profile.ps1 is not digitally signed

SimonGordon — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:27:16 GMT

Full error message:-

File C:\Program Files\NetApp\WFA\PoSH\profile.ps1 cannot be loaded. The file C:\Program Files\NetApp\WFA\PoSH\profile.ps1 is not digitally signed. The script will not execute on the system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

My WFA server is locked-down by our security group so I am unable to change the PowerShell execution policy from 'AllSigned'. Even if I get past the problem with this file, will I run in to issues with other PowerShell scripts?

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

Definitely, yes. Each command (with powershell script not perl) generates a temporary script which is executed by the WFA Server service.

You have to request a security exception to your security guys or using perl scripts...

Do the following:

powershell -executionpolicy bypass

then you should be able to invoke the script
