Is there a known issue (I have tried looking but can’t see anything) where remquery fails when trying to run commands using and account with an ‘&’ or other specialised character in the password. I have tried duplicating this manually using remcom and can resolve this by putting the passwords in quotes.

My colleague is also logging this with support as I type.

I am not aware of any issues. We use some passwords with special characters for which is works.

I have noticed that these are local accounts failing. Domain accounts seem to be ok should we prefix the account with anything localhost\ or .\ etc?

Is should not be necessary to prefix the credential. The proxy has added localhost\ prefix to credentials without prefixes since ADDM 8.2.

OK, I have submitted the record details to support so we will see what happens from that side.
