The steps below help you correct the regional settings so the PowerShell connection can be created successfully.
- Open the Region settings on the Beacon server
- Open Control Panel.
- Search for Region, and then select it.
- Check the regional format
- In the Format dropdown, make sure the format is set to an English locale, such as English (United States) or English (United Kingdom).
- Do not leave the format set to Match Windows display language (recommended).
- Verify the decimal symbol
- Select Additional settings.
-
- In the Numbers tab, check the Decimal symbol field.
- Make sure the value is a period (.).
- Do not use a comma (,) or a single quote (').
- Apply changes and restart the Beacon application
- Select OK to save any changes.
- Restart the Beacon application to ensure the new settings take effect.
After confirming that the decimal symbol is set to a period and the regional format is set to an English locale, you should be able to create and update PowerShell connections without errors. The PowerShell connection form should display all required fields, and the connection should save successfully.
