PowerShell Encoding issue in 7.8.3
-
I have a PowerShell script that was written in Notepad++ and has been working properly for some time. I recently made a change to the script and it stopped working. Digging in, it wasn’t the change I made, but the portion of the script that sends an email with HTML formatting. If I take the script and copy/paste into PowerShell ISE and save, it works fine.
Problem line:
$EmailBody += '<font size="3" color="red"><b>Failed to enable Remote Mailbox ' + $AdUser.FirstName + " " + $AdUser.LastName + " (" + $AdUser.userPrincipalName + ').</font></b><br><br>'PowerShell Error:
At C:\Scripts\Activate-NewAccounts.ps1:238 char:30 + ... <font size="3" color="red"><b>Failed to enable Remote Mailbox ' + $Ad ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unexpected token '3" color="red"><b>Failed to enable Remote Mailbox ' + $AdUser.FirstName + "' in expression or statement. At C:\Scripts\Activate-NewAccounts.ps1:238 char:30 + $EmailBody += '<font size="3" color="red"><b>Failed to enable ... + ~ Missing closing ')' in expression.Since a straight copy/paste/save in PowerShell ISE solves the issue with no changes, it appears there’s something in the PowerShell save encoding in the latest version.
