I am getting error if I do this

" connect-viserver -server bla.domain.com"

If I am using the same account from the same prompt, It works perfect and instantly.

"connect-viserver -server bla.domain.com -password pass"

See log below :

PS C:\temp> connect-viserver -server bla.domain.com
There were one or more problems with the server certificate:

• A certification chain processed correctly, but terminated in a root certificate which isn't trusted by the trust provi

• The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.

I also found the info from the Administrator's guide, and I am doing this :

Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

Initialize-VIToolkitEnvironment.ps1

Again, Thanks much!
