File is attached (renamed to .txt and internal data replaced with dummys).

These are the commands I'm using which basically "destroy" the file:

$iniPath = "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk"
$ini = Get-IniContent $iniPath

$ini["Test-VPN"]["ExcludedProtocols"]="8"

@lipkau The first appearance of the value is overwritten with the arraylist in Get-IniContent. You should rather safe the previous value before creating an arraylist. Fix:

                    if ($ini[$section][$name] -is [string]) {
                        $first = $ini[$section][$name]
                        $ini[$section][$name] = [System.Collections.ArrayList]::new()
                        $ini[$section][$name].Add($first) | Out-Null
                        $ini[$section][$name].Add($value) | Out-Null
                    }

Just saw that #58 was in here and trying to tackle the Duplicate Key issue.
I just submitted #63 before I saw that.
Either way, though - in my testing it seemed like I was getting a second key of my "duplicate" and then continuing forward from there with the Arraylist

and when written out, it resulted in this annoying double-expansion of the ArrayList

from psini.

However, like I mentioned here #60 (comment)
I think either of mine or @devio 's solutions would also possibly raise an issue of moving entries up/down within a file

so

   key = value
# 'comment line'
# 'comment line'
   key = value
# 'comment line' 

would end up like this I believe

   
# 'comment line'
# 'comment line'
   key = value
   key = value
# 'comment line' 

or possibly like this for devio's solution - I think - I didn't check his personally

   key = value
   key = value
# 'comment line'
# 'comment line'
# 'comment line' 

To fully allow for duplicate keys, potentially spread through the entire file & assuming their positioning relative to other entries within a section (or lack of a section) is important - I'm not sure how to get around the bunching problem
