vSphere - Custom Spec - Run once - Powershell - Execute script with arguments

[NoUserNamePlz]

Hi,

I'd like to run scripts with args using the run once command.

This is working once the OS is deployed but will not work using the run once commands frome the custom spec in vSphere

cmd.exe /c powershell.exe -Executionpolicy bypass -command "& {c:\temp\Test.ps1 -Obj ([PSCustomObject]@{Field1=`$true;Field2='Valeur1';Field3='True'})}"

The script is just saving the fields of the pscustomobject into a file at the moment.

I cannot find documentation about this. Only examples using a simple file without args.

If someone struggled with it already and has a working solution, i'm in.

Kind regards.

Hi here you can find some examples using vsphere terraform modules
