It works for me

You can use this way to save the encrypted password (alternative way)

Powershell Store Encrypted Password for auto login
$credential = Get-Credential
$credential.password |ConvertFrom-SecureString |set-Content C:\Users\<user_name>\encrypted_password.txt
$encrypted = Get-Content C:\Users\<user_name>\encrypted_password.txt | ConvertTo-SecureString
$dom_user = "domain\user_name"
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($dom_user, $encrypted)

Add-NcCredential -Controller <controller> -credential $credential

Same as you have up there. First pic is the new environment we want it on and it has same kitversion you shared. second picture is one of our very old environment that has everything working perfectly ok with version 4 1 0 0.

Hi Sanaman,

i ended up downgrading to Major (4) Minor (1) Build (0) Revision (0) with your "Add-NcCredential -Controller <controller> -credential $credential" command against my initial "Add-Credential ip-address -cred CredInfo" and it worked. Thanks so much.

Hi Sanaman,

What version did you upgrade to?
How did you downgrade?
Unfortunately I have the same problem...
A thousand thanks!
