fs1:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or script file.

I have an ESXi 6.5 host that hangs at this screen:

Shell> echo -off fs1:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or script file.  How can I fix this?

Our PXE boot server was the culprit.

Do you have a windows cd in the server, if so I'd remove it.

No.  On CD or flash drives in the server

Are you auto-deploying, or kickstarting the host somehow, something is pushing this down to the host that you need to look at.
