Set-ExecutionPolicy for hundreds of users with PowerShell script

I am trying to set the execution policy for more than 150 users.... I wrote a script, it runs with out error, but I confirmed with the user that the change wasn't made...

$worstationobject = New-Object psobject Hostname

Add-Member -InputObject $worstationobject -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'CORP\mkatherine'  -Value 'FooBar23'
Add-Member -InputObject $worstationobject -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'CORP\jshmoe'  -Value 'FooBar12'


function Get-MemberValues {
   $wslist = $worstationobject.psobject.Members |
   ? {$_.Membertype -eq "noteproperty"} | 
   %{ $_.Value }
   $wslist -join ","
}
function Set-ThePolicies {
   $devices = Get-MemberValues
   Invoke-Command -InputObject $devices -ScriptBlock {Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force}
}

Any idea why this isn't working?

If there is a more practical way to do this please let me know if this is over-complicating a simple situation

The best way to achieve this is generally to use Group Policy to set execution policy on a number of machines.

From the link:

To configure, navigate under Computer Configuration to Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows PowerShell You should see a setting called Turn on Script Execution
