Issue with Connect-VIServer

[kilbride98]

Hi

I am quite new to this and am trying to use Powershell to access my ESXi server.

I have ran Connect-ViServer -Server ip-address -Protocol https -User Admin - Password xxxx

but i keep being told there is an issue with the protocol "Could not connect using requested protocol"

I have also tried http also to no avail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

This was actually a proxy setting that was causing this issue. Once proxy removed the error stopped.

You can also look at Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet. It allows you to configure PowerCLI to use or not the system proxy.
