Need to pull Account ID passing Name and SafeName

[jpruitt1]

Describe the issue Many accounts with the same name were 'automatically' named generically with "Misc (9) Platform XYZ' (as an example) and we want to pull the Account ID for these so we can rename them to a meaningful name. We cannot pull by account user name because it is the same account user name in the same safe on many different machines, so we need to pull by the account unique name ("Name") and Safe to get the Account ID. However, when passing the Keyword, Search, or Filter variables, psPAS returns an error indicating ambiguous parameter:

• CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-PASAccount], ParameterBindingException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : AmbiguousParameterSet,Get-PASAccount To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
  1. Get-PASAccount -filter "Name eq 'Misc-Storage-Only-RR-tuldssdb03-MLLD'" -Safe LiveLink_App
  2. Alternatively, this command doesn't error but also doesn't work: Get-PASAccount -Keywords Misc-Storage-Only-RR-tuldssdb03-MLLD -Safe LiveLink_App

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

The command syntax in the first example is not valid; filter & safe \ Keyword do not belong to the same parameterset. Refer to the Get-PASAccount documentation here: https://pspas.pspete.dev/commands/Get-PASAccount Only SafeName is valid for the filter parameter: Get-PASAccount -filter "SafeName eq TargetSafe"

Unless using a CyberArk version earlier than 10.4, the parameterset containing Keywords & Safe should not be used (only 1 result will be returned if a match is found).

Valid syntax for the values included in your issue would be:

Get-PASAccount -safeName LiveLink_App -search Misc-Storage-Only-RR-tuldssdb03-MLLD

Additional note: if no results are returned when searching by name, this is usually because of a setting which is disabled in the CyberArk options.
