Connect-VBRServer - Password AsSecureString

[BenjaminB]

Hello,

i try to connect with our backup-server. And i want to hide the password if i type it into the console:

Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapin
$pass = Read-Host 'Password' -AsSecureString
Connect-VBRServer -server "<Backup-Server>" -User "<User>" -Password "$pass"

I tried it also with '$pass' and only $pass.

But it doesnt work...

Any Idea ?

Thanks !

It doesn't work, because -Password parameter expects String object, not Secure.String one. To fix it you will need to convert secure string to string first (ConvertFrom-SecureString). Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply.
It works now.
But now i use the following command:

Connect-VBRServer -server "<server>" -Credential (Get-Credential -Message "Test" -UserName "<user>")

Thanks!
