Problem Executing PowerShell Scripts from Service

HM: 9.22
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2

I'm running HostMonitor as a service using the System Account, and have specified an Administrator account under the Service tab of the Options dialog inside HostMonitor. If I launch RCC from a console RDP session on the server, open my PowerShell script under Script Manager, and run it under the Lets try tab, it seems to run correctly. If I do the same thing under RCC from a different machine, it gives me the PSSecurityException. When the service attempts to execute it, it always replies Script returns no results. If I run the x86 version of PowerShell as my HostMonitor user on the server, and execute Get-ExecutionPolicy -List, this is what it's currently set to:

Scope ExecutionPolicy
----- ---------------
MachinePolicy Undefined
UserPolicy Undefined
Process Undefined
CurrentUser Bypass
LocalMachine Bypass

Any advice?

Thanks,

Looks like UAC related problem.
Do you have UAC Enabled on the system?
Could you try to specify BUILT-IN Administrator account on Service tab of the Options dialog or disable UAC?

That was it exactly. I just disabled UAC since I need domain credentials to run some of my tests. Thanks for your quick response.
