Update-AzADApplication: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument $True

I'm trying to update a property on my AD Application Registration in Azure. Per the documentation, I can either use Update-AzADApplication or Set-AzADApplication.

I've tried both. But all the combos below return the same error message:

 A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '$True'.

Update-AzADApplication Attempts

PS C:\Users\me> Update-AzADApplication -ApplicationId [my-app-guid] -Oauth2RequirePostResponse $True
Update-AzADApplication: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'True'.

PS C:\Users\me> Update-AzADApplication -ApplicationId [my-app-guid] -Oauth2RequirePostResponse $true

PS C:\Users\me> Update-AzADApplication -DisplayName widgets-app-AdApp -Oauth2RequirePostResponse $True

PS C:\Users\me> Update-AzADApplication -DisplayName widgets-app-AdApp -Oauth2RequirePostResponse True

PS C:\Users\me> Update-AzADApplication -DisplayName widgets-app-AdAppp -Oauth2RequirePostResponse true

PS C:\Users\me> Update-AzADApplication -DisplayName widgets-app-AdApp -Oauth2RequirePostResponse $true
Update-AzADApplication: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'True'.

I also tried this:

PS C:\Users\me> $mytest = $True; 
PS C:\Users\me> $mytest
True
PS C:\Users\me> Update-AzADApplication -ApplicationId [my-app-guid] -Oauth2RequirePostResponse $mytest
Update-AzADApplication: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'True'.
PS C:\Users\me>

CodePudding user response：

The -Oauth2RequirePostResponse is a switch parameter so does not need a boolean value.

Because of this, PowerShell assumes the $true value you are attempting to pass is the next parameter.

Remove $true and it should work.

Update-AzADApplication -ApplicationId [my-app-guid] -Oauth2RequirePostResponse
