Hi,
I am getting the below error when used the Invoke-VMScriptPlus v3 function
$vmName = 'mypup1.abc.loc'
$credVM = Get-VICredentialStoreItem -Host $vmName
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($credVM.User, (ConvertTo-SecureString $credVM.Password -AsPlainText -Force))
$sInvoke = @{
VM = $vmName
GuestCredential = $cred
ScriptText = 'sudo ls -l /opt'
ScriptType = 'bash'
Sudo = $true
}
Invoke-VMScriptPlus @sInvoke
error :

That is most probably a certificate problem, which is something outside the actual function.
Do you have certificates for the ESXi nodes?
Are they self-signed?
There are several solutions to bypass certificate checks on the Invoke-WebRequest.
Several are offered in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11696944/powershell-v3-invoke-webrequest-https-error
You could try one of those, before calling Invoke-VMScriptPlus.

This is a good solution with the current version.
Like I said, bypassing the certificate check for Invoke-WebRequest is something that will probably need to be done outside the function.
The primary reason being that this is something that you can't do more than once in a PS session afaik.
So the function would probably not be the best place unless I test if I can test that.
I'll do some testing to verify if this could eventually be done inside the Invoke-VMScriptPlus function itself.

Perfect LucD.
I will wait for your update.
Thanks a lot for your help and time
Strange, you use the solution I suggested, and then you mark your answer as the correct one.
Nice, don't think I will answer your future threads anymore.
