While installing filebeat , i am getting below error. Please help. File C:\Filebeat\install-service-filebeat.ps1 cannot be loaded.

you will have to start the powershell in an Unrestricted mode the simpelst way is to use cmd and execute the following in the filebeat dir ``` PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-winlogbeat.ps1 ``` see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-installation.html#filebeat-installation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-installation.html#filebeat-installation) last grey box ---

sorry forgotten to say you will need to start cmd.exe as administrator Hopefully then it will work (i always work as admin on our server so that was not obvious to me...) If that doesn't help than i'm out of ideas beside to install the service manually [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/251192/how-to-create-a-windows-service-by-using-sc-exe](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/251192/how-to-create-a-windows-service-by-using-sc-exe) the parameter you can partially get from the ps script ---

when i try to run as an administrator this is what happens: PS C:\Program Files\Filebeat\> PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-filebeat.ps1. Security warning Run only scripts that you trust. While scripts from the internet can be useful, this script can potentially harm your computer.

yeah thats good the service is installed now you only must start it like you start every windows service (services in start) don't forget to double check your config before you start the service ---

I would suggest running it on the power shell as an administrator rather than command prompt. ---
