Cause
Using procmon it was identified the following command being executed on the Agent PC.
"powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file "\\AgentMachine\C$\MetalogixScripts\ProgramDataRemotePowerShell.ps1".
Running the command manually on the Agent PC prompts a request for confirmation to download. The files are being downloaded from internet in this case.

Resolution
WORKAROUND-1
- To get around the issue we needed to add the Agent Machine as a trusted site in internet options.
WORKAROUND-2
- Set the PowerShell execution policy to unrestricted "set-executionpolicy unrestricted"
