I have a PowerShell script to add a website to a Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer:

set-location "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"
set-location ZoneMap\Domains
new-item TESTSERVERNAME
set-location TESTSERVERNAME
new-itemproperty . -Name http -Value 2 -Type DWORD

I want to execute these Powershell commands from a batch file. It seams simple when I have to run a single command, BUT in this case I have a sequence of related commands. I want to avoid creating a separate file for the PS script to be called from the batch - everything must be in the batch file.

The question is: How to execute powershell commands (or statements) from a batch file?

You mean: How to execute powershell statements from a batch file? I would avoid this :) – empo May 17 '11 at 21:32

This is what the code would look like in a batch file(tested, works):

powershell -Command "& {set-location 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings'; set-location ZoneMap\Domains; new-item SERVERNAME; set-location SERVERNAME; new-itemproperty . -Name http -Value 2 -Type DWORD;}"

Based on the information from:
