Can someone suggest an alternative to this powershell as I'm having security issues?

[reggiep]

I have this rather fabulous script which launches a page for users which is different depending on their ip address...

 

function getipthirdoctet {
ipconfig | where-object {$_ –match “IPv4 Address”} | foreach-object{$_.Split(“.")[-2]} 
}
$ipaddress = getipthirdoctet

if ($ipaddress.length -eq 1)
   {
   $ipaddress ='0'+$ipaddress 
   }



C:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe  -k "http://intranet/?i=$ipaddress"

 

However I am having serious problems with powershell security so i am seeing if any edugeekers can suggest an alternative to powershell that might do the same thing.

 

Can anyone help?

I am having serious problems with powershell security

Can you elaborate? The issues might be able to be fixed easily?

What's the problem with powershell security? It's probably better to fix that than to find some random application that does the same thing.

It's frustrating because originally I had a half working batch file which would have been the easiest solution.

 

I have group policy set to allow powershell but it still seems to fail when running.

 

I'm not at my usual PC at the moment so I'll report back shortly!

I think I have it now!

My group policy for execution of powershell was set up was for the computer. I needed to set one up for user.
