    Hi All,

    I am using invoke-webrequest to Post to a URL. I am converting some data to jason format and sending as body. But i am getting some issues with json conversion.

    My code is 

    $Name ="Ankittest"
 $path ="/ifs/dev/Ankittest"
 $group = "domain\nas_isilon_admins"

 $jobj1= convertto-json (New-Object PSObject -Property @{name=$name ;path=$path;permissions=@{permission="change"; permission_type ="allow" ;trustee=@{id="SID:S-1-5-21-328293959-303977128-1042822891-221341";name=$group;type="group"}} } )



 Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Body $jobj1 -ContentType "application/json; charset=utf-8" -WebSession $session

    But when i am checking the value of $jobj1 variable i am getting extra "\" in $group name "domain\nas_isilon_admins"

    PS C:\Windows\system32> $jobj1
{
    "path":  "/ifs/dev/Ankittest",
    "name":  "Ankittest",
    "permissions":  {
                        "permission":  "change",
                        "permission_type":  "allow",
                        "trustee":  {
                                        "name":  "domain\\nas_isilon_admins",
                                        "id":  "SID:S-1-5-21-328293959-303977128-1042822891-221341",
                                        "type":  "group"
                                    }
                    }
}
    Need to remove one "\" from the domain\\nas_isilon_admins.

    Yes.  The backslash has to be escaped.  The forward slashes do mot get escaped.\

    This is normal.

    Do this without trying to jam everything on one line.  It is unnecessary and impossible to read or debug.

    $Name = 'Ankittest'
$path = '/ifs/dev/Ankittest'
$group = 'domain\nas_isilon_admins'

$obj = [pscustomobject]@{
        name = $name
        path = $path
        permissions = @{
            permission = 'change'
            permission_type = 'allow'
            trustee = @{
                        id = 'SID:S-1-5-21-328293959-303977128-1042822891-221341'
                        name = $group
                        type = 'group' 
                    }
            }
        }
$jobj1 = $obj | convertto-json
