cannot validate argument on parameter

[tdubb123]

not sure why I am getting this error

get-vmhost (get-content "c:\scripts\esxhosts.txt")

[LucD]

Try like this

Get-VMHost -Name (get-content "c:\scripts\esxhosts.txt")

hi lucd

got same error

[LucD]

And what do you have in the file C:\scripts\esxhosts.txt?
Is there anything in there?

I can only simulate the same behaviour with an empty file.

the txt file is not empty

[LucD · Accepted solution]

Are you really sure?

Ok I believe there was an error in my txt file when i copied a column o er from a csv file. I corrected it and works now

Thanks Lucd
