If I run Powershell notifications or EXE sensors with Powershell scripts, which Powershell version is used by PRTG (32 bit, 64 bit) and how do I have to configure the Powershell ExecutionPolicy?

32bit-to-64-bit exe-script-sensor executionpolicy powershell script security

Even on a 64bit Windows system, PRTG will start the 32bit version of the Powershell. Because of that, the ExecutionPolicy of the 32bit Powershell has to be set correctly. It is independent of the 64bit ExecutionPolicy.

The 32bit version of the Windows Powershell can be found here: %SystemRoot%\syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

Information about signing Powershell scripts and the Execution Policy for scripts can be found in the following external resources:
