    PowerShell is very aggressive when it comes to converting types and arrays behind the scenes. As an alternative, I would suggest passing a Custom PSObject instead.

    You could also try creating a non-GUI script and call Start-Job directly and see if you get the same result.

    Good idea. When I have time I'll create a custom PS object as you said with both objects embedded. That way the -Argument parameter will only see one object which it shouldn't have a problem with.

    Thanks.
