Azure-docs: Get-AzRecoveryServicesVaultSettingsFile not working with parameters shown

[Iain-Morris]

In setting the vault context, the PS line "$Vaultsettingsfile = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVaultSettingsFile -Vault $vault -SiteRecovery -Path C:\users\user\Documents\" is shown, but fails as additional parameters (e.g. -Certificate) are required. Help for this command also gives examples that error. The description for the -Certificate parameter is just "{{Fill Certificate Description}}".
Subsequent steps fail with error "Vault Settings are missing. Please import Vault Settings and verify the same".

Hi All,

Workarond steps to follow:
Use below cmdlet to set vault context directly
Set- AzRecoveryServicesAsrVaultContext -vault $vault
$dt = $(Get-Date).ToString("M-d-yyyy") $cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName $dnsname $certficate = [Convert]::ToBase64String($cert.RawData) $VaultFile = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVaultSettingsFile -SiteRecovery -Vault $vault -Certificate $certficate.ToString() Import-AzRecoveryServicesAsrVaultSettingsFile -Path $VaultFile.FilePath $cert | Remove-Item

@SadiqhAhmed-MSFT Thanks for the workaround, but will the docs be updated as well? (users should not be expected to find the workaround in a closed issue)

[ONI-Assassin]

workaround doesn't seem to work as expected and the commandlet and documentation hasn't been updated over a month later. Can we get an update on the current status?

[villanub]

Any update on when this will be resolved? Same issue with the 2.0.0-preview version.
