# Execution Policy

#### There are a few ways to set the PowerShell Execution Policy in WinSE.  I'll start with the easiest

## AutoUnattend.xml Method

#### By far the easiest way to set the PowerShell Execution Policy to Bypass is to use an AutoUnattend.xml with a RunSynchronous Command

```
    <settings pass="windowsPE">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <UserData>
                <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula>
                <ProductKey>
                    <Key>NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43</Key>
                    <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI>
                </ProductKey>
            </UserData>
            <RunSynchronous>
                <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>1</Order>
                    <Description>OSD ExecutionPolicy</Description>
                    <Path>PowerShell -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass"</Path>
                </RunSynchronousCommand>
            </RunSynchronous>
        </component>
    </settings>
```

#### That does the trick

## Driver Method (OSDBuilder)

#### You can easily create your own Driver INF and add that to WinSE (WinPE and WinRE too) to set the Execution Policy.  OSDBuilder easily lets you add this Driver
