Oh my god, thank you for catching this.

To clarify the issue for the ticket: The documentation that is shipping with the server is using an invalid/multibyte character for the dash in the -a and -p parameters for this command. It likely got generated by a tool autocorrecting the dash to a stylized one, such as how MS Word will swap " for fancy quotes.

 

The fix is simple. The documentation just needs those two characters retyped with ascii compliant dashes instead of these multibyte dashes.

Yes. When I have copied the command into a CMD terminal and have run it, it resulted in an error.

When I have copied the command into a Powershell command, the dashes were missing.

I hope that helps.

I have provided the corrected command in the initial description.

Using command from documentation results in error?
