[TKMAX]

Hi All,

Can someone share with me what I am doing wrong here plz?

PS C:\temp> Get-AdvancedSetting -entity UVACPMMSQL03ENT | Remove-AdvancedSetting -AdvancedSetting ctkDisallowed -confirm:$false

Remove-AdvancedSetting : Cannot bind parameter 'AdvancedSetting'. Cannot convert the "ctkDisallowed" value of type "System.String" to type

"VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.AdvancedSetting".

At line:1 char:87

+ ... 03ENT | Remove-AdvancedSetting -AdvancedSetting ctkDisallowed -confir ...

+                                                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Remove-AdvancedSetting], ParameterBindingException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveAdvancedSetting

But it works when I do it like this.... manually :smileysad:

PS C:\temp> Get-AdvancedSetting -entity UVACPMMSQL03ENT | Remove-AdvancedSetting

AFaik that should be

Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity UVACPMMSQL03ENT -Name ctkDisallowed |

Remove-AdvancedSetting -confirm:$false

Thank you very much. That worked pretty swell. Guess I was using an old cmd. Thanks again!
