-ConnectingString error New-azstoragecontext

Question

Hi everyone,
Newbie here.
I am confused why i have this error when creating new-azstoragecontext -connectingstring. I got this error.

PS E:\afs> $AzCont = New-AzStorageContext -ConnectionString $ConString

New-AzStorageContext : Settings must be of the form "name=value".

• $AzCont = New-AzStorageContext -ConnectionString $ConString
• CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [New-AzStorageContext], FormatException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Storage.Common.Cmdlet.NewAzureStorageContext

Below is my script:

$FilePath = "E:\Dodz.txt"

$ConnectionString = Get-Content $FilePath | ConvertTo-SecureString
$BSTR = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($ConnectionString)
$ConString = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($BSTR)

$AzCont = New-AzStorageContext -ConnectionString $ConString

Hello @AlexisNoelHynson-4418

Thank you for posting this concern on this community space.

I am wondering if you have read the following documents below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage?tabs=azure-portal

Furthermore, I am pasting an image where to find the connection-strings shown before.

Let me know if that was useful but if not, I can keep assisting you further.

Looking forward to your feedback,

Cheers,

Hi @risolis , I managed to connectstring using the storage account key. But not sure if this is correct as i have another error. As shown below.

PS E:\>

$FilePath = "E:\Dodz.txt"

$AzureFile01 = "autododz-fs"

$AzRepPathINVENT = "DodzLogs\INVENT"

$ConnectionString = Get-Content $FilePath | ConvertTo-SecureString

$BSTR = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($ConnectionString)

$ConString = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($BSTR)

$AzCont = New-AzStorageContext -ConnectionString $ConString

PS E:\> $AzCont

StorageAccountName : ABCDEFG01

BlobEndPoint : https://afsautomations.blob.core.windows.net/

TableEndPoint : https://afsautomations.table.core.windows.net/

QueueEndPoint : https://afsautomations.queue.core.windows.net/

PS E:\>

$Entires = Get-AzStorageFile -ShareName $AzureFile01 -Path $AzRepPathINVENT -Context $AzCont | Get-AzStorageFile

foreach ($entry in $Entires.ShareFileClient) {
Get-AzStorageFileContent -Context $AzCont -ShareName $AzureFile01 -path $entry.path -Destination ('\SERVER01\rawdata\' + $entry.name) -Force
}

I got this ERROR below:
