Use this cmdlet to approve a Powershell script in Configuration Manager. These scripts are integrated and managed in Configuration Manager. You can't run a script on devices until it's approved. After you approve a script, to run it use the Invoke-CMScript cmdlet.

By default, you can't approve scripts that you author.

For more information, see Create and run PowerShell scripts from the Configuration Manager console.

This command approves a script that has the ID DF8E7546-FD66-4A3D-A129-53AF5AA54F80.

Approve-CMScript -ScriptGuid "DF8E7546-FD66-4A3D-A129-53AF5AA54F80"

The first command gets a script object with ID DF8E7546-FD66-4A3D-A129-53AF5AA54F80. It then stores the object in the $ScriptObj variable.

The second command approves the script stored in the variable.

$ScriptObj = Get-CMScript -Id "DF8E7546-FD66-4A3D-A129-53AF5AA54F80"
Approve-CMScript -InputObject $ScriptObj

This command gets all scripts in Configuration Manager that aren't approved. It then loops through each script in the scripts array. If the current user is not the author of the script, it approves it.

$scripts = Get-CMScript -Fast | Where-Object { -not $_.ApprovalState }

$me = $env:userdomain + "\" + $env:username
foreach ( $script in $scripts ) {
 if ( $script.Author -ne $me ) {
 Approve-CMScript -InputObject $script
 }
}

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
