Hi folks, as I know Import-VApp can import existing ovf to my vc/vsphere and its ovf must be local to windows for example -Source "c:\vApps\WebServer\WebServer.ovf", but the source could be from www for example http://www.foo.com/samplevm.ovf, so far I have to download samplevm.ovf locally to windows and them import-vapp to import it, I learned ovftool.exe can do this job but could powercli import from www to my vsphere without downloading locally? really appreciate! Simon
