To read the secure password from the file and assign it to a variable:
PS> $passwordFile = convert-path c:\tmp\password.txt
PS> $wsmanpassword = Get-Content $passwordFile | ConvertTo-SecureString
To use the secure string in all the password variables in the OpenManage Essentials CLI commands:
PS> Add-DiscoveryRange -Range 10.36.0.48 -Profile samples\DiscoveryProfile.xml -
WSManPassword $wsmanpassword
An example of the profile.xml file is outlined as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
