ExecutionPolicy default value is RemoteSigned (#72993)

* ExecutionPolicy default value is RemoteSigned

##### SUMMARY
In Windows setup steps, settings `ExecutionPolicy` is restored to value `Restricted`. But actually default value for Windows server is not `Restricted` but `RemoteSigned` ([source](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies?view=powershell-7.1#default)).

I have got issue with `win_dsc` because `ExecutionPolicy` was `Restricted`.

do this with the following PowerShell commands:
