Header Error while using Powershell for Redfish
requests
Description iDRAC RESTful API with Redfish displays an error stating unacceptable header specified in request for commands
run on PowerShell. Unlike other REST API tools such as Python, CURL and Postman, the PowerShell Invoke-
WebRequest command does NOT automatically add a header to REST requests; the header must be explicitly
included by the programmer.
Workaround You need to explicitly include a header while using Powershell for any type of Redfish request.

Filtered port in the port scans.
Workaround Group Manager and node initiated discovery need to be turned off in order to disable mDNS.
