it was probably just that one-liner. i tested with a bunch of different header parameters and running powershell in different charsets.   glad you pointed me to the solution though! I believe it converts the data to bytes, and just sends the bytes, ignoring charsets or something. ... View more

found a solution based on your reply.   $header = @{ "X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key" = $apikey "Content-Type" = 'application/json ; charset=utf-16' } $customuri = $org.samlConsumerUrl.Split('/')[2].split('.')[0] $updateuri = 'https://{1}.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/{0}' -f $org.id,$customuri $parms = @{ name = $WantedName } $json = $parms | ConvertTo-Json $body = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($json) $change = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri $updateuri -Body $body -Headers $header $change ...

i appreciate your responses. i tried them in both vscode(with all types of encoding) and in ISE.   i also tried this $change = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri $updateuri -Body $json -Headers $header -ContentType "text/plain; charset=utf-8" $change I have a support case open with meraki. ill see if they can come up with something.   i have not tried to do the same with a network name. cant think of any reasons why there would be a difference between network name and org name, but there might be. ...

thanks for your input. this is my current header: $header = @{ 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key' = $apikey 'Content-Type' = 'application/json ; charset=utf-8' 'Accept-Language' = 'nb-NO,nb;q=0.9,no-NO;q=0.8,no;q=0.6,nn-NO;q=0.5,nn;q=0.4,en-US;q=0.3,en;q=0.1' } Ive also tried a few other charsets, like iso and sorts.   also tried this. $header = @{ 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key' = $apikey 'Content-Type' = 'application/json' 'Accept-Language' = 'nb-NO,nb;q=0.9,no-NO;q=0.8,no;q=0.6,nn-NO;q=0.5,nn;q=0.4,en-US;q=0.3,en;q=0.1' 'Accept-Charset'= 'utf-8, iso-8859-1;q=0.5, *;q=0.1' } ...

$customuri = $org.samlConsumerUrl.Split('/')[2].split('.')[0] $updateuri = 'https://{1}.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/{0}' -f $org.id,$customuri $parms = @{ name = $WantedName } $json = $parms | ConvertTo-Json $change = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri $updateuri -Body $json -Headers $header $change   Unfortunatly this did not work. ...
