PowerCli 12.2.0 Start-VM Value cannot be null

[forbzie]

Hi,

I updated PowerCLI to version12.2.0 and connected to vCenter 7 Update 1d.

When running Start-VM or Stop-VM i get the following:

start-vm -vm vm-name

Start-VM: Start-VM Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'key')

If i check vCenter i can see the CmdLet still works as the VM starts/stops ok.

This appears to be happening to Stop-VM and probably other cmdlets too, anyone experiencing this as well?

Thanks

I'm using VCSA 7u1 build 17491160, and I don't see those errors.
Which build are you using?

Hi,

This version tested ok - vCenter  6.7.0 16709110
 This version has the issue - vCenter 7.0.1 17327586

Using PSCore 7.1

Thanks

I tested in PSv5.1 and PSv7.1.2 (on Windows & Ubuntu), in neither do I see any errors.

I would suggest opening an SR.
GSS might claim you need an SDK Support contract for PowerCLI, but that is not correct.
Point them to PowerCLI Support Breakdown

When you open an SR, can you include the output of the Get-ErrorReport cmdlet.
See Improving PowerCLI Support with Get-ErrorReport for instructions on how to do that.

I had a similar issue and if I remember correctly I fixed it by changing the Windows region language to match the Windows build.

ok thanks LudD

Error report captured and case raised with VMware, lets what happens.

[LucD]

Do you happen to have the SR number?

[jforbes22]

Thanks, I passed it along to the PowerCLI team
