Script runs fine in ISE but fails from Command Prompt

288 views Asked by At

I have the following script:

Add-Computer -DomainName ("a.b.c.d") -Credential (New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential("a.b.c.d\abcdadmin", (ConvertTo-SecureString "1234qwer" -AsPlainText -Force)))

Obviously the domain is not 'a.b.c.d' but it follows that. It has no special characters or anything that would lead me to believe it would cause problems. From the ISE the output:

Add-Computer : Cannot add computer '<removed>' to domain 'a.b.c.d' because it is already in 
that domain.
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-Computer -DomainName ("a.b.c.d") -Credential (New-Object System. ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (20012UA95009JZ:String) [Add-Computer], InvalidOperationExce 
   ption
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddComputerToSameDomain,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddComputerCommand

So it clearly runs fine in the ISE (with the exception that it's already in the domain), but the Command Prompt says otherwise:

At line:1 char:143
+ ... fl.us\abcdadmin, (ConvertTo-SecureString 1234qwer -AsPlainText -Force)))
+                    ~
Missing argument in parameter list.
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordEx
   ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingArgument

The biggest limitation is that the script must be one-line.
