I have the same error.

@dukkse77 @Josefper Thank you for contacting us. What version of Powershell are you using ($PSVersionTable output)?

[dukkse77]

Hey!!
I have this

Name Value

---

PSVersion 5.1.19041.1682
PSEdition Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion 10.0.19041.1682
CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion 3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

And my collegue just told me that if you upgrade to 7, it works. Even though it worked a couple of weeks ago with above version.

[JeffHarkavy]

@dukkse77 ok, it does work in PS 7.3.9 but yes, I'm seeing the same thing in PS 5.1. safeguard-ps v7.4 was released "a couple weeks ago" (3 as of this writing), so perhaps some .NET dependency issue has crept in. We'll look into it.

thx

Hi Jeff,

just for information:
i tried it now on 2 machines (Win 10 22H2 Build 19045.3570 and Windows Server 2022 21H2 Build 20348.17266)
both up-to-date
same issue...

I also Installed the newest Version of PS 7.3.9 but then i get:
PowerShell 7.3.9
PS C:\Users\jp> Connect-safeguard 192.168.111.20 -Insecure -Gui
Exception: This -Gui parameter is not supported in PowerShell Core

[JeffHarkavy]

@viperat Thanks for the extra info. That exception is from safeguard-ps v7.3. In v7.4 we've deprecated the -Gui parameter in favor of -Browser.

For reference here's what my environment shows
