Wait-Task - The operation has timed out

if i use the command sequence:

$objTask = New-VM -Name $hostname -ResourcePool $objCluster -ContentLibraryItem $objContentLibrary -Location $objFolder -Datastore $objDatastoreCluster -RunAsync

write-host "Deploy OVF Template: Starting Job..."

Wait-Task $objTask

After some time the error is returned:

Wait-Task : 19/06/2017 14:05:49    Wait-Task        19/06/2017 13:54:45    Wait-Task        The operation has timed out       

At line:1 char:1

+ Wait-Task $objTask

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Wait-Task], ViError

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : VICore_VMServiceImpl_DeployFromLibraryItem_Error,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.WaitTask

Even giving this error I realized that in vcenter there are still two tasks: Deploy OVF package from Content Library and then the Deploy OVF template

This two tasks are executed with sucess and vm was created even with the timeout error.

Note: The template has 25GB

Did you already try changing the WebOperationsTimeoutSeconds with the Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet?

Mind the Scope!

Not sure if the Wait-Task uses this timeout though.
