Nagios Support Forum

The current powershell wrapping looks like the following, and requires your execution policy to be set to remote signed.

;Powershell wrapping
ps1=cmd /c echo scripts\\%SCRIPT% %ARGS%; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -

Ideally in our environment, we do not want to open up the execution policy. We've avoided this when running scripts via task scheduler by running them in the following way

powershell.exe -NoProfile -NoLogo -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\PATH\TO\FILE\script.ps1

Bolded for attention is the switch that lets an admin do a one time bypass of the execution policy. This lets us keep it restricted system wide, while still running automated tasks.

From my own research and testing, Nagios does not support this switch, due to the weird wrapping.

Is there any possibility of further support for this in the future?

You must be referring to NSClient++, correct?

What version of NSClient++ are you running? You can find the version next to the program in the Programs and Features control panel item.

While I did not update my wrappings, I have a command defined with exactly this that works as expected:
Can you explain by what you mean by "Nagios does not support this switch, due to the weird wrapping." so that we can troubleshoot further?

Hmm, looks like this does work. On some hosts it was not working so maybe it's an issue of different versions? Either way, thank you.

That could be, did you try upgrading the version to see if that fixes it on the ones that aren't working? Are the nsclient.ini configs the same?

@AudyIltis, that is correct, thank you for posting that information, future readers will certainly find it useful info.
