I've tested the credentials not using PowerNSX and no issue. The account is Enterprise Administrator

Hello,

First of all, verify that you got all modules:

Open a Windows PowerShell terminal window and install each of the required modules as follows;

PS C:\> install-module PScribo  
PS C:\> install-module VMware.PowerCLI  
PS C:\> install-module PowerNSX

Then please try to do as follow:

1. Run PowerShell with Administrator Privilages

2. Run command: New-AsBuiltReport -Report VMware.NSXv -Target [vCenter IP] -Credential (Get-Credential) -Format HTML,Word -OutputPath C:\Scripts

3. Enter your vCenter credintionals, it would be best to use administrator@vsphere.local

Hi Marcin,

I've followed all the steps mentioned in your post and the problem persist. I get the same error message

Thanks

Hmm,

Are you able to do the report from vsphere, try the follow:

New-AsBuiltReport -Report VMware.vSphere -Target [vCenter IP] -Credential (Get-Credential) -Format HTML,Word -OutputPath 'C:\Scripts\' -TimeStamp -EnableHealthcheck

[thompsoa]

vSphere report works fine. No errors like the ones I see running 'VMware.NSXv':-(

Thanks

What is your NSX version?

Have you tried to reboot NSX Manger ?

After digging for a while it's finally working. My problem was  powershell proxy settings

I changed the setting of the proxy configuration to ‘no proxy’ in PowerShell with the below command I was able to connect and run the script with no problems.

Set-PowerCliConfiguration -proxypolicy noproxy
