get-vm is not working

[vin01]

When  I connected to  the vcenter its not showing vms list after executing (get-vm)

But if  I execute list this Get-VM *

I can able to list the VMs

[LucD]

Did you already try to stop/start your PowerShell session?

Do you have multiple vCenters connected?

Does it do this for all vCenters? Or a specific one?

Any disconnected, orphaned or otherwise funny VMs in the environment?

Did you already try to stop/start your PowerShell session?

Yes

Do you have multiple vCenters connected?

No Only Single vCenter

Does it do this for all vCenters? Or a specific one?

I didn't tested on multiple vCenters.

Any disconnected, orphaned or otherwise funny VMs in the environment?

No Such vM's observed in the environment.

This time I opened a powercli window and executed (get-vm) but no luck.

But Get-VM *  can show vm names.

Can you do the following, and post the output?

Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable

[LucD · Accepted solution]

You seem to have multiple PowerCLI versions installed.

I would suggest to remove all of them (also the entry you find in the Programs and Features applet).

Remove all the module folders related to PowerCLI.

And then do a fresh install with Install-Module.
