We’ve found that using scripted inputs helps us to capture specific sources in Windows through the use of PowerShell.

To enhance this security we tend to choose a script execution policy that requires the scripts to be signed.

By default Splunk Powershell scripts are not signed so we wrote this article to explain how we did it.
