connect-viserver : not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file.

Hi,

Could some one please help me on this one? I had a script used to working fine, and recently it started to stop working and the following is what it returned to me from the first 2 lines of the script,

PS C:\Working> Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

Add-PSSnapin : Cannot add PSSnapIn VMware.VimAutomation.Core. It is already loaded.

At line:1 char:13

+ Add-PSSnapin <<<< VMware.VimAutomation.Core

PS C:\Working>

PS C:\Working>

PS C:\Working> connect-viserver

'connect-viserver' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file.

At line:1 char:16

Do I need to re-install the vmware vi toolkit?

Thanks!

The messages you are getting don't seem to say a lot.

A reinstall with the latest build seems a good option.

Thanks, If you don't mind , could you please let me know where I can find the latest release for vmware powershell instalation package? and what command I can use to find out what version that I have now?

[LucD]

You can get your current version/build with

Get-ViToolkitVersion

And you can download the latest version from here.

Reinstalling with the latest version (as LucD suggests) sounds like the right thing to do. In earlier version of VITK, there was no Connect-VIServer. Instead, it was called Get-VIServer. So this is probably what you're observing on your system.
