Are you using a domain account in the credential? If so, you also need PSDscAllowDomainUser = $true in the configuration data block.

Hi RichMatheisen,

I provided as you have suggested and also looked at the blog. But Still it is giving same error.
Please correct in case if I have added it in the wrong places and wrong inputs? Thank you. PFA.

Hi RichMatheisen,,

Did you have a chance to look in to my above thread?

An email address is not a domain account. And you also have ".comr" which is invalid as well.

If you are just playing around, create a local Testuser account to play with.

Yes, but I'm confused.

In lines 1,2, and 3 (which you've highlighted) you create a credential object and place it in the variable "$credential". But that variable isn't referenced anywhere else.

On line 12 your script prompts for a user/password and stores the credential object in a variable "$creds", which is referenced on line 24.

The initial error references line 16, character 9, which is where the "$creds" variable is used.

What is the point of lines 1, 2, and 3????

And, as @MotoX80 noted, it's unlikely that an account using the domain name gmail.comR (even if it were spelled correctly) is a UPN in the Active Directory (it may not be impossible, but it seems unlikely).

So . . . are you sure that you've got the correct credential object????
