PowerShell Toolkit cmdlet get-nccredential fails

Hi all,

I currently getting some strange response from the "get-nccredential" cmdlet:

PS C:\Users\markus> import-module dataontap
PS C:\Users\markus> get-module

ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands
---------- ------- ---- ----------------

PS C:\Users\markus> get-nccredential
get-nccredential : Cannot process argument because the value of argument "userName" is not valid. Change the value of
the "userName" argument and run the operation again.

PS C:\Users\markus>

I already tried other versions (9.10.1, 9.11.1) which show the same effect. But it seems a profile related problem, as I can run the cmdlet in an administrator powershell without a problem.

Has anyone an idea how to troubleshoot this further, or a solution?

Thanks,

Markus

This behavior is expected for the Get-NcCredential cmdlet.

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late response. I just noticed that there was feedback to my question. So, I have to run this cmdlet as administrator and can't use it as a regular user? Can you give me some more details about it?
