The '<' operator is reserved for future use

William

I am attempting to use your script - I am running Powershell 5.1 build 14409 1012 with Powercli 6.5 R1 build 4624819 - I followed the directions to update the variables to match what I want to deploy and when I run the PS1 file via Powercli or Powershell ISE I get several lines of code where it has an issue with the open < as well it wants to bracket & with " "

Have you seen this before and am I missing something - to be honest I have only used very simple JSON templates in Azure training which were already prebuilt and this script of yours is very comprehensive. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks Dwayne

How did you download the script, it looks like you may had a bad download or something got miss-converted since this looks more like syntax errors.

Unfortunately, I can't see most of what you pasted use triple (`) between your output so it'll properly display it in Github

Hey William

Thanks for the quick response - I use Chrome and I right clicked it and downloaded it - however when I select the link it brings me to the code and it appears to be a script I can now recognize

I figured it is something I did wrong - first time use Github - I will grab the code and save it

Thanks I will tell you how the deployment goes Dwayne
