Hi Guys,
Newbie here. I've been trying to find documentation on how/where to install PowerCli for use with a non-Windows host. Our VCSA 6.7 Standard is on an ESXi 6.7 host. Can I install PowerCli on a Windows client and send commands through an API? Sick to death of manually creating hundreds of VMs...
Thanks!
Chrys

Preferably PS v5.1 or higher.
Open a PS session and then install PowerCLI from the PSGallery with
