Is your ps1 script reside in a network share ? You can skip all the security process by typing set-executionpolicy bypass in a admin powershell console

or you can invoke your script by powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file \\servername\share\script.ps1

Please use the second one. The first uses global state to solve a local problem. – Billy ONeal Feb 12 '13 at 16:05

If the same error shows up, make sure you're setting the execution policy in the right place. On a 64 bit system there will be an execution policy for both 64 and 32 bit versions of Powershell. Normally, it loads the 64 bit version for the console, but uses the 32 bit version if called from a bat file. You need to launch the 32 bit version, running eleveated, and set the execution policy for it also.
