Hi,

can you anybody show me how can I protect a script, so that the script cannot be changed (modified), but it's can be run for example every night at 00:00 as scheduled task?

Thank you.

    A PowerShell script file is a simple text file, not much to protect.
    You can only remove write/delete permissions on NTFS file level, but the user will still be able to copy the file to an other location and modify it there.
