Running 11.1 of PowerCLI
vCenter cluster is 6.5
I can create VMs with GUI without fail
I am connected to my vcenter server as evident from using $global:defaultviserver
My Get-Datastore and Get-VMHost return valid entries and the store I want to use and host I want to use
This is all you get when PowerCLI does not like your command or it fails:
New-VM : 4/24/2019 7:48:23 AM New-VM

Not much to go on (hint PowerCLI developers, can we enhance this to give more feedback please?)
This is the command I am using with obvious variables
Get-Folder returns the location I have unfocused in command above
I have tried stripping out many arguments and parameters to get to basic command and nothing works.
The odd thing is the New-VM command documentation says -Template is required. Can't I simply create a new VM from raw parameters?
Creating a new template requires a VM to create it from. See the issue there? New-VM needs a template, New-Template needs a VM, according to the docs.
