I just tested that in PSv5.1 and PSV7.1.3, both against a vSphere 7 environment, and the Get-Stat cmdlet worked correctly in both cases.

It might be a regional settings issue, as already mentioned in Solved: Get-Stat CMDLET Error - VMware Technology Network VMTN

How i can set ?

i have

VMWare Esxi 6.7.0 Update 3 (Build 14320388)

VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.7.0.10000

PowerShell:

What does Get-Culture return?

[ITenGriTR]

Returning

LCID Name DisplayName
---- ---- -----------
1055 tr-TR Turkish (Turkey)

[LucD · Accepted solution]

Then you are probably experiencing the same issue as mentioned in the other thread I linked to earlier.

You could try setting the culture to en-US, and check if that fixes the issue.
Note that you need to run the PS session as Administrator for this cmdlet

Set-Culture en-US

[ITenGriTR]

I cant change

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Set-Culture en-US
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-Culture

LCID Name DisplayName
---- ---- -----------
1055 tr-TR Turkish (Turkey)

[LucD]

Are you running the PS session as Administrator?

[ITenGriTR]

yes

[ITenGriTR]

I changed culture with difrent method and changed now

LCID Name DisplayName
---- ---- -----------
1033 en-US English (United States)

[LucD]

And did you restart your PS session?

[ITenGriTR]

and its working perfectly thank you
