Powershell : build dynamic invoke-command for SSL and NOSSL connections - powershell

Question

We have servers that are setup with type type of WinRM connection Secure and normal.
I need to establish a remote powershell connection with or without the -usessl switch.
I wanted to avoid having two identical script blocks with the only difference being having or not having the -usessl switch.
I tried using argument splatting but can't deal with the -usessl switch, also tried using invoke-expression but that broke the ability to retrieve data; Hash value from the remote job.
Any suggestions ?
if (test-wsman -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -cn "$($Cmpname.name).sample.com" –UseSSL ) {
Write-host $Cmpname.name,WSMan Connected SSL
$strWSMAN = "SSL"
$strRemoteHash = invoke-command -cn "$($Cmpname.name).sample.com" -usessl -scriptblock {
Write-host "calculating Hash values"
$strLocalhash = Get-ChildItem -Path "c:\Windows\ccmcache" -Filter "Windows10.0-KB4041691-x64.cab" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force | Get-FileHash -Algorithm sha1
New-Object pscustomobject -Property #{
RemotePath = $strLocalhash.path
RemoteHash = $strLocalhash.hash
}
}
} else {
$strWSMAN = "NoSSL"
$strRemoteHash = invoke-command -cn "$($Cmpname.name).sample.com" -scriptblock {
Write-host "calculating Hash values"
$strLocalhash = Get-ChildItem -Path "c:\Windows\ccmcache" -Filter "Windows10.0-KB4041691-x64.cab" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force | Get-FileHash -Algorithm sha1
New-Object pscustomobject -Property #{
RemotePath = $strLocalhash.path
RemoteHash = $strLocalhash.hash
}
}
}

As mjolinor said, you need to provide a boolean value for a switch parameter when splatting:
$ParameterValues = #{
ComputerName = "$($Cmpname.name).sample.com"
UseSSL = [bool](Test-WSMan -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ComputerName "$($Cmpname.name).sample.com" –UseSSL)
ScriptBlock = {
Write-host "calculating Hash values"
$strLocalhash = Get-ChildItem -Path "c:\Windows\ccmcache" -Filter "Windows10.0-KB4041691-x64.cab" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force | Get-FileHash -Algorithm sha1
New-Object pscustomobject -Property #{
RemotePath = $strLocalhash.path
RemoteHash = $strLocalhash.hash
}
}
}
Invoke-Command #ParameterValues
