VMware PowerCLI start notes

VMware PowerCLI 10.0.0 is the new release of PowerCLI and the first to become multi-platform: it adds support for Mac OS and Linux!

Thanks to Microsoft PowerShell Core 6.0, the open-sourced version of PowerShell that’s available on a number of operating systems, from Windows to Linux to Mac OS.

Here I will put all note regarding VMware PowerCLI.

Enable running policy on the system:
get-executionpolicy
set-executionpolicy unrestricted

Connect to vCenter:
Connect-VIServer <vcenter name>

Determining the build number of vSphere PowerCLI or VI Toolkit:
Get-VIToolkitVersion
WARNING: There were one or more problems with the server certificate:

Get-PowerCLIConfiguration
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -invalidCertificateAction "ignore" -confirm:$false
