To force PowerShell to use TLS 1.2, add the following line to your script: Because SEP uses TLS 1.2, you will receive a connection error message if you do not change this behavior. The 'Set-ExecutionPolicy' cmdlet changes the PowerShell execution policy.īy default, PowerShell uses TLS 1.0. The 'Get-ExecutionPolicy' cmdlet shows the current PowerShell execution policy.

Unrestricted - No restrictions all Windows PowerShell scripts can be run.

RemoteSigned - Downloaded scripts must be signed by a trusted publisher before they can be run.

AllSigned - Only scripts that are signed by a trusted publisher can be run.

Windows PowerShell can be used only in interactive mode. The RemoteSigned policy is best for single system testing. You must set the execution policy before you can run scripts. The default policy is Restricted and can be enforced by your group policy.

The 'get-help Invoke-RestMethod' cmdlet, if it exists (it is not in versions before 3.0), shows command info. The 'get-host' cmdlet verifies the version of PowerShell. Before you begin: PowerShell must be at least version 3.0 to use the Invoke-RestMethod. Please read Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager 14 REST API Reference when referencing the attached scripts. Note: These scripts are meant for testing purposes only and are not supported by Symantec. Finally, you must update the access token in each script before running them. You must also add a valid user name and password to the SEPM_Authentication-test.ps1 script before it returns a valid access token. If you download the example scripts, please note that you must replace SEPM_IP in the 'URI' section of the scripts with your own SEP Manager IP address or host name.

You can also use these scripts for troubleshooting purposes. The example scripts are designed to show you examples of how to use the API functions, and what you need to invoke a REST method request call in PowerShell. Also to familiarize how to PowerShell with the new Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 14 Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The purpose of this article is to familiarize yourself with PowerShell.
