allow the Constrained Mode – SID-500.COM

On this weblog publish I’m going to point out you the best way to allow the PowerShell Constrained Mode. What’s the Constrained Mode? Microsoft explains this as follows:

The ConstrainedLanguage mode permits all cmdlets and all PowerShell language components, but it surely limits permitted sorts.

ConstrainedLanguage mode is designed to help Consumer Mode Code Integrity (UMCI) on Home windows RT. It’s the solely supported language mode on Home windows RT, however it’s obtainable on all supported programs.

UMCI protects ARM units by permitting solely Microsoft-signed and Microsoft-certified apps to be put in on Home windows RT-based units. ConstrainedLanguage mode prevents customers from utilizing PowerShell to bypass or violate UMCI.

Observe the hyperlink to seek out out extra about this very particular PowerShell mode.

For now, I wish to present you an instance.

Let’s determine the present mode, which is the default mode.

$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode

The default mode is FullLanguage. Let’s attempt to execute the next line.

[System.Console]::WriteLine("Howdy")

It really works. The usage of .NET Courses is allowed.

Now I alter it to ConstrainedLanguage.

$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode = "ConstrainedLanguage"

And once more we execute the command.

This time it results in an error. With the ConstrainedLanguage Mode I’m not allowed to work with .NET Courses.

Hope this was useful.
