Changing Execution Policy without Admin Rights

In PowerShell v.2, a number of parameters have been added to Set-ExecutionPolicy, which allows you to change this setting without Admin privileges, unless an administrator has restricted this:

This line will change the execution policy only for the current session:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process RemoteSigned -force

This will change your personal execution policy permanently:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned -force

Hi,

So theres no chance of changing the settings using this code if an administrator has restricted it?

Microsoft's PowerShell security model dictates that setting the execution policy requires administrator permissions.
