Invoke-ChangeIdracUserPasswordREDFISH - New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with ....

[wojzag]

After executing the command: Invoke-ChangeIdracUserPasswordREDFISH -idrac_ip 10.17.129.242 -idrac_user_id 4 -idrac_new_password Test1234!

I get the following message:

• INFO, executing PATCH command to change iDRAC user password
• PASS, statuscode 200 returned successfully for PATCH command to change iDRAC user password

New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "Cannot process argument because the value of argument "us erName" is not valid.

The script generates an error but the user's password is changed.

Hi @wojzag

Can you share what iDRAC version you're currently using? I just tried the cmdlet on iDRAC9 7.10.30 and unable to repro the issue.

Thanks Tex

I had an old version of IdracRedfishSupport installed. After updating to the latest version, the error does not occur. Thank you for your help.

Good to hear latest cmdlet version does not have this issue.
