Data Gateway PowerShell module issue with `Add-DataGatewayClusterMember` command `-RegionKey` param

Hi, mikeeq 

First, ensure that you are using the latest version of the DataGateway module. You can update the module using the following command:

Update-Module DataGateway

Double-check the syntax and ensure that the

-RegionKey

 parameter is correctly specified. PowerShell parameters are case-sensitive, so make sure you're using the exact region key.

As a temporary workaround, you can try deploying the gateway cluster in the default Power BI tenant region if possible. If this is not feasible, continue using the manual process without the RegionKey parameter until a fix is available.

Here are examples of how you might use the commands with and without the -RegionKey parameter:

Without -RegionKey Parameter (Default Region)

$secureRecoveryKey = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourRecoveryKey" -AsPlainText -Force
Add-DataGatewayClusterMember -GatewayClusterId "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" -GatewayName "datagatewaypoc-2" -RecoveryKey $secureRecoveryKey -OverwriteExistingGateway

With -RegionKey Parameter (Specific Region)

$secureRecoveryKey = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourRecoveryKey" -AsPlainText -Force
Add-DataGatewayClusterMember -GatewayClusterId "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" -GatewayName "datagatewaypoc-2" -RecoveryKey $secureRecoveryKey -OverwriteExistingGateway -RegionKey "uksouth"

Try using the Get-DataGatewayCluster command with the -RegionKey parameter to see if it works correctly:

Get-DataGatewayCluster -RegionKey "uksouth"

If the -RegionKey parameter works with other commands, it indicates that the issue is specific to the Add-DataGatewayClusterMember command.
