You appear to have the JSON config files switched around the wrong way.
AsBuiltReport.VMware.vSphere.json is the Report Config JSON
AsBuiltReport.json is the AsBuiltReport Config JSON
It should read as follows;
New-AsBuiltReport -Target vcentername -Credential $mycred -Report VMware.vSphere -Format Html,Word -ReportConfigPath 'C:\Scripts\Config\AsBuiltReport.VMware.vSphere.json' -AsBuiltConfigPath 'C:\Scripts\Config\AsBuiltReport.json' -OutputPath 'C:\Scripts\Output\ASBuilt' -TimestampPlease let me know if this resolves your issue.

Hello, receiving a "Cannot validate argument" error when running New-AsBuiltReport command. This is only happening when I try to use the -ReportConfigPath and -AsBuiltConfigPath parameters. If I don't include these parameters the report is generated correctly.
The path and files specified by -ReportConfigPath and -AsBuiltConfigPath are correct and the json files were actually generated by running the command and saving the files during the prompts.
Command: New-AsBuiltReport -Target vcentername -Credential $mycred -Report VMware.vSphere -Format Html,Word -ReportConfigPath 'C:\Scripts\Config\AsBuiltReport.json' -AsBuiltConfigPath 'C:\Scripts\Config\AsBuiltReport.VMware.vSphere.json' -OutputPath 'C:\Scripts\Output\ASBuilt\' -Timestamp
Error: Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Name'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again. At line:1 char:1
Expected behavior I expected the command to accept the input for the parameters as configuration and run the report.
