Powershell script error with VMWare PowerCLI

[jvianale]

We are getting the below error with orchestration running powershell scripts using VMware   PowerCLI, believe the import module   Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment_Custom.ps1 maybe causing the issue

Script (runs find from the command prompt)

import-module "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1"

Connect-VIServer -Server xxxxxxxxx -User xxxxx -Password xxxxxx

Connect-VIServer -Server xxxxxxxxx -User xxxxx -Password xxxxxx

Connect-VIServer -Server xxxxxxxxx -User xxxxx -Password xxxxxx

Get-NetworkAdapter lab-obaapp2 | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:0 -Confirm:0

Output error
