Hi,
I have a problem with some scripts, that used to work and now stop functioning. While investigating I found that Get-CIRole and/or Get-CIUser are no longer working as expected, and I do not know why.
I try and get the "organization administrators" of some VDC and inform them by e-Mail about some non-optimum VMs (no VMware tools, wrong NIC ...). This used to work that way:
$ORG=$VDC.Org
$ORGADMINROLE=(Get-CIRole -Name "Organization Administrator")
$ORGADMINs=(Get-CIUser -Org $ORG -Role $ORGADMINROLE | sort | Get-Unique)
But now in any case $ORGADMINs is empty. If I query an administrator directly, I get an error (though documentation says it should work that way):
PowerCLI C:\> Get-CIUser -Org $ORG -Name "myadminname"
Name External Locked DeployedVMCount StoredVMCount Org
---- -------- ------ --------------- ------------- ---
myadminname False False 1 4 managedhosting
PowerCLI C:\> Get-CIUser -Org $ORG -Name "myadminname" | Get-CIRole
Get-CIRole : 17.09.2018 14:35:27 Get-CIRole Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At line:1 char:46

We use vCloud Director 8.20. Any help is really appreciated, since I am quite lost.
Regards, Tom.
