Escape character question I have a DOS command I'm trying to run from powershell, as part of an
automation script. The problem I'm having is an "Incomplete String
Token" error when I use Invoke-Expression on it. Here are the relevant
bits:
$pwdSetString = "bemcmd.exe -o213 -
i""`{10011001-1001-1001-0101-010101010101`}"" -pw:""$oldPwd"" -
pl:""$newPwd"" -cemslbk01"
$pwdSetString
$results = Invoke-Expression -command $pwdSetString
Output
-------------------------
PS - powershell> ./set-BUEServiceAccountPwd.ps1
bemcmd.exe -o213 -i"{10011001-1001-1001-0101-010101010101}" -pw:"asd" -
pl:"asd" -cmachineName
Invoke-Expression : Incomplete string token.
At \Path\set-BUEServiceAccountPwd.ps1:16 char:29
+ $results = Invoke-Expression <<<< -command $pwdSetString
BUE Password set result:
I know that the {} characters are the issue, but they are pretty much
required in the command. This command works fine in DOS and I assumed
that escaping them would make PS happy as well. Any ideas on how to
run this?
