to copy a file from my local machin to the DataStore i used the follwing commands which work perfectly fine
New-PSDrive -Location (Get-Datastore -Server $ConnectServer -Name "NAMe") -Name DSDrive -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\'
Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $SourceBuild_ISO -Destination DSDrive:\folder1 -Force
however every once in a while, i get this error as shown in attached.
The error comes special after i have rebooted my local machine and the VM and try copying my files.
Immediately after the error comes, i retry the command after couple of minutes and it works perfectly well.
Any explanations?

You probably have to wait till the VMware tools are started in the guest.
You could check the State of the tools before starting the copy.
while ((Get-VM MyVM).Guest.State -ne "Running"){sleep 5}

Hi,
It seems that something breaks the established connection. Does your local machine stand behind proxy?
