PS script error

Question

Hello Team,

I get the below error while running the PS script...

The property 'Configuration' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.

At line:49 char:1

• $obj.Configuration = [System.Net.WebUtility]::HtmlEncode($MultiKioskM ...

• 
      + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
  
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyNotFound
  
   
  
  

Set-CimInstance : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'InputObject' because it is null.

At line:51 char:30

• Set-CimInstance -CimInstance $obj

•                          ~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Set-CimInstance], ParameterBindingValidationException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimCmdlets.SetCimInstanceCommand

Answer 1

The variable "$obj" hasn't been initialized. Its value is $null.

This seems to me to be a pretty clear explanation of the error when you tried to use $obj:

Set-CimInstance : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'InputObject' because it is null.
Set-CimInstance -CimInstance $obj

The actual error is:

ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed

Add this cmdlet at the top of your script to detect common errors (like the one you asked about) before you encounter them at runtime:

Set-PSDebug -Strict
