      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;i tried that line... but the issue is the connection line does not like the "-assecurestring" because the "$Password records the "*" as it's value witch is not what the password is for the esxi box so the authentication fails &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;best option is to use $host.ui.PromptForCredential() to get both the username and password, the result of which Connect-VIServer can take via its -Credential option&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
