[Xymon] Xymon Powershell Windows client

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Dirk,

I don't read German, but I can guess what might be wrong.  When I downloaded the script it was blocked from executing by Windows.  I had to right click on the script, select properties, and there was an unblock button.  It only had to be done once.  That property stays with the script when you copy it to other computers.
