Disabling the PowerShell Escape Character

[REED201110141]

I need to use Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface on about 100 VMs.  They are non-domain members created from the same template with the same local administrator account.  Unfortunately, the local administrator password uses the ` character.  The ` character is the PowerShell Escape Character.  The Escape Character will not allow itself to be included with a string value, so when I try to pass the -GuestPassword paramter, it does not include the ` character, the password is wrong, and authentication fails.  Does anyone know who to use the ` character as part of a string literal?

Depends hwo you pass the string, in single quotes the backtick doesn't need to be escaped ('pass`word').

In double quotes, use the back-slash ("pass\`word")

Thank you, that's it exactly.
