I’ll try to explain the use case here. I am writing a script to automate the management of remote services. This can easily be done with sc.exe via command prompt. However, this use case is to write the script via Powershell.

I need to modify the command file startup for a site written in Micro Focus COBOL to access an Azure key vault. I wrote a PowerShell script to access the key vault – I need to pass back to the command file data which the command file uses to set environmant variables. I don’t want to pass a variable at the Machine level – that will defeat the purpose of using a key vault. How do I send a string variable back to the command file?
