Hi I’ve finally migrated my environment to PSU 3. Aside from minor glitches, I have one major problem. I was using Get-Variable to fetch secret variables by name, supplied from external source. I have hundreds of such secret variables and list is quite dynamic. Please advise if it’s possible to use…

If you upgrade to 3.4.2, then you can use Get-ChildItem to retrieve them dynamically. $SecretVariableName = "MySecret" Get-ChildItem "Secret:\$SecretVariableName"
