Exception calling "GetSecurityDescriptor" with "0" argument(s): "Unknown error (0x80005000)"

Hello, this isn't really an issue per-say, just wanted to post this here in case anyone else has the same issue. I was getting the following error when running the script:

Exception calling "GetSecurityDescriptor" with "0" argument(s): "Unknown error (0x80005000)"

I looked through the code to find the offending line, and it was running Get-AuditCertificateTemplate <ca name>. When I ran the command manually it also errored out with the same message, so it's definitely an issue with the PowerShell module. After some guess and check I found that this error is caused by having a "/" in the certificate template name. After I renamed and deleted any templates with a / it was able to run sucessfully.

Running into the same issue. Unfortunately our admins are reluctant to rename the certificates to remove the "/" . Has anyone had any success with alternative solution(s) or code modification to accommodate the "/" character?

I just converted "/" to "-". I don't think the issue is with this project, looked to me like an issue in the PowerShell module.
