I finally tracked down the reason for my problems. I am using signed scripts, and have set up an internal certificate server for the code signing cert. The server does not have the required access to that server. The code signing cert I created has references to the CRL as:

URL=http://<certserver>/certenroll/<caname>.crl.

I needed to add permissions to that crl for everyone (off domain), and add firewall rules on port 80.

The server was not able to cache the CRL.

Sorry to open an old topic, but I have a single server, having real problems opening powershell. I have run the script attached to this thread, and it does throw errors trying to load the pscx.dll:

Installing assembly C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerShell Community Extensions\Pscx.dll

Failed to load dependency Pscx.Core of assembly Pscx, Version=1.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null because of t

he following error : The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)

The script did not improve loading times (3+ seconds). here is oupt from JPS's information script (put noprofile in, as my profile adds some overhead):

PS C:\> 1..10 | %{Measure-Command {powershell -noprofile exit}}|ft totalseconds

I tried running the script inside of powershell, and launched from a script. I tried with and without PSCX installed. I made sure to point to the correct framework directory (x64). I cant get powershell to load in under 3 seconds.

Thanks,

Jason

Mine went to .5 secs

Even after running this script my powershell takes > 20 seconds to start (either from shortcut or by typing powershell from cmd). Starting it from within powershell itself is fast.

Here is the output from the commands Josh suggested:

@Josh

That doesn't sound right - we should be able to meet your needs. Can you do the following and post it:

1..10 | %{Measure-Command {powershell exit}}|ft totalseconds

gwmi win32_processor |fl name,NumberOfCores,MaxClockSpeed,L2CacheSize

gwmi Win32_PhysicalMemory |ft tag,speed,{$_.capacity/1mb} -auto

Thanks!

Speed up Powershell V2?

Josh Smith — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 01:18:16 GMT

I ran the script in V2, still takes on the order of 15-20 seconds to get to PS when issuing powershell.exe from cmd. I'm worried about the scripting speed. I need to poll 300 machines repeatedly for very specific info. It's starting to sound like I need to use a binary or maybe wscript

Thanks.

One can also determine the .NET framework install path using RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory()
