Move-VM Cmdlet including PowerCLI 6.5 Enhancements is not working as expected

[sbkurid]

The below script is for reference and it is working as expected but the network setting for the VM is not updating once migration is completed. I'm migrating the VM from Standard Portgroup (Which is connected in the Source vCenter ) to Distributed Portgroup which not updating once the migration is completed.

Source vCenter : 6.0 U3

Target vCenter : 6.7 U2

Migration Type : vCenter to vCenter migration using Move-VM commandlet.

Issue : The network setting for the VM is not updating to DVport from the Target Portgroup and remains the same standard portgroup as in source vcenter.

        [string]$VM,

        [string]$VMHost

    {

        Throw “You must supply a value for -VM and -VMHost”

You are not providing a lot of info.
That script contains a lot of Write-host lines, what do they show when you do such a cross-vCenter vMotion?

Does the VM have one or more vNICs?

Any messages in the vpxd logs on the vCenter?

Which PowerCLI version are you using? Is that 6.5R1 and if yes, why this old version?
