Im trying to export some powered off VM's to move between environments, and when i run the export-vm command i get an error. When i run the same command on a machine with the older version of powercli (5.5 release 2) it exports fine. Im running the commands against a vcenter 6.5 environment. I have tried the new powercli from several machines with the same results. I dont know if theres a bug in the export command, or if something has changed in the syntax. Any help would be appreciated.
PS C:\Windows\system32> get-vm VM_Name|export-vm -destination d:\
export-vm : 5/29/2019 3:50:12 PM Export-VApp An error occurred while sending the request.
