function test([string]$word){
return $word
}
Get-ADUser -Identity Function:\test("bill")
From what I can tell the above should work. MS has an example below where it looks like they call a function as a parameter. But its not working for me.
MS example.
Get-ChildItem -Path Function:\Get-*Version | Remove-Item

To pass a command's / expression's output as a command argument, use (...), the grouping operator:
Get-ADUser -Identity (test "bill")
As for the Function:\test syntax: you can only use that for retrieving function definitions, not for direct invocation.
The syntax relies on the Function: PowerShell drive, which provides access to all function definitions - see the about_Providers conceptual help topic.
For the sake of completeness (there's no good reason to take this approach here): Using namespace variable notation and &, the call operator, you could leverage the Function:\test path syntax - albeit without the \ - as follows:
# Same as above.
Get-ADUser -Identity (& $Function:test "bill")
foo arg1 arg2- not like C# methods -foo('arg1', 'arg2'). If you use,to separate arguments, you'll construct an array that a command sees as a single argument. To prevent accidental use of method syntax, useSet-StrictMode -Version 2or higher, but note its other effects. See this answer for more information.
