I have a Power shell script that runs on computer1 and my sql server is on computer2
I created a Powershell Proxy
Then I create SQL Agent Job, with Step
powershell.exe -file "\computer1\c$\PowershellScript.ps1"
When I run the Job I get error
     The error information returned by PowerShell is: "\computer1\c$\PowershellScript.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.      + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [],
      ParentContainsErrorRecord
     Exception      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess    '. Process Exit Code 0. The step succeeded.
How do I run this job sucessfully without getting error. What changes do I need to implement?
There is Windows task scheduler that runs on the Computer1 and runs it successfully and it has same command, I want to convert this to SQL job instead of windows task

Seems like a reasonable error message. What is your question?

Looks like the execution policy at the remote computer is too restrictive for your script to be run. Did you follow the link given in the error message?
