Hello Emil,

The error you are getting is because you do not have a line termination in the foreach loop on line #24.

You need to separate statements using semicolon (;), so your line #24 would look like this:

Import-Csv $ILOlist | Foreach { $iloip = $_.iloip; $args = " firmwareupdate http://" + $iisip + "/" + $binname + " --url " + $iloip + " -u " + $username + " -p " + $password; Start-Process -Wait -Filepath $ILOrest -ArgumentList $args }

Actually those 3 statements can be combined in one but I’ll leave it up to you to refactor script whenever you feel like it.

Hope that helps.
