Hello everyone,

I have PowerCLI script that creates a vm from a content library. The issue that I am running into is that the script
times out with a "The task was canceled by a user." 

I think the issue has to do with the Deploy OVF template task not being synchronized with the transfer files task. It takes about 7 minutes for the file transfers to complete so the powercli script times out even though all OVF associated tasks in vCenter are still continuing in the vSphere client. This causes all other steps in my script to fail because the VM is not fully deployed yet. 

How can I ensure that the script does not go to the next steps until the OVF has been deployed successfully? Below is the code that
applies to the new vm creation.

$contentLibraryItem = Get-ContentLibraryItem -Name 'WINTMP'

New-VM -Name $vm -ContentLibraryItem $contentLibraryItem -resourcePool $cluster -location $folder -Datastore $datastore -DiskStorageFormat "Thick" -DrsAutomationLevel "Manual" -confirm:$false

I have tried the suggestion from this link but it didn't work.
