I got the same thing. I just moved away from the exercise

Having the same issue and I tested with running the script. not sure why it saying its wrong

I contacted support, and they fixed it, running Add-Content ./HelloWorld.ps1 "Write-Host 'Hello World'" should work now!

I’ve got the same thing.

Great! The script outputs the text as expected.

Now let us replace the script contents with the command Move-Item ./Lab* -Destination /home/ccuser/workspace/cybersecurity-analyst-prep-pwsh/PowerShell_Lab/ so we can automate the organization task of moving lab files around.

how can we solve task 4, i have tried everything.
