vCenter 6.5 PowerCLI problems?

[efanjo]

Hi,

we just upgrade to vCenter 6.5. Now some of our PowerShell scripts throwing an error regarding tags.

$vm  = Get-VM vm1

Get-TagAssignment -Entity $vm

Get-TagAssignment : 17.01.2017 08:29:19

Get-TagAssignment

Expected <_this> tag not found

I tested this with PowerCLI 6.3 and 6.5. Are there any known bugs regarding tags?

Hi efanjo,

I ran into the same problem after upgrading my vcenter to version 6.5.

Unfortunately my installed PowerCLI Version was 6.3.

After I've upgraded PowerCLI to Version 6.5, I was able to retrieve information about my Tags with PowerCLI.

So if you use different versions of these different products, try to upgrade to the same version.

Hope that helps
