I'm running the VI Toolkit for windows ver 1.5 connecting an install of Vcenter Server where the user password starts with a $ character and I can't login due to bad credentials!?! The vi client can connect using the password that starts with a $ character.
In fact, a $ character anywhere in the password except at the end is rejected!?!
I can't change the password...
Have you tried adding single quotes around it:
Connect-VIServer MYVISERVER -Username MyUser -Password '$omepassword'
