Add "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12' to my existing Ps1

Question

I have the following PS1 code:-

cd $HelperPath
    #----------------------------------------------
    # Create configuration lists in central repository in SharePoint
    #----------------------------------------------
    Show-Message -Message "Step 1a: Create groups and adding users to it" 
    & "$HelperPath\Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter.CreateGroups.exe" "true" $Username $Password

Now i want to add [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 before calling the .exe file,, so how the final syntax should be? for example something as follow??

Show-Message -Message "Step 1a: Create groups and adding users to it"      & "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 $HelperPath\Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter.CreateGroups.exe" "true" $Username $Password

Unsure if you specifically need TLS 1.2, but I would go with [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls13 instead if your system supports it. — Booga Roo

@Theo thanks, i wrote the following syntax Show-Message -Message "Step 1a: Create groups and adding users to it"& "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 ; $HelperPath\Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter.CreateGroups.exe" "true" $Username $Password but got this error The term '[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 ;C:\c\tree\master\cloud\src\deployments\Scripts\Helper Utilities\Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter.UpdateView.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. — John John

In this case I would suggest just putting it on a line by itself above the call to the executable:

cd $HelperPath
    #----------------------------------------------
    # Create configuration lists in central repository in SharePoint
    #----------------------------------------------
    Show-Message -Message "Step 1a: Create groups and adding users to it"
    [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls13
    & "$HelperPath\Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter.CreateGroups.exe" "true" $Username $Password

If you really must have it on a single line as described in the question, you can put a semicolon between each statement:

Show-Message -Message "Step 1a: Create groups and adding users to it" ; [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls13 ; & "$HelperPath\Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter.CreateGroups.exe" "true" $Username $Password

Also, I would suggest using TLS 1.3 if your system supports it. I've included that in the code here.

Yes. There is no need to enclose the TLS command in quotes.
