Update to PowerCLI 6.5.2
PowerCLI 6.5.2 has been released. As you remember from 6.5.1 onwards, PowerCLI is now available from the PowerShell Gallery. I posted a blog post back in April when it was released explaining how it was installed and some tips to automate that install.
If you are not on 6.5.1 please follow those steps to install that version. It will make your life updating PowerCLI so much easier from now on. No more having to log into the VMware website, finding the download and installing. Simply install and update direct in PowerShell.
So to update to 6.5.2 you simply enter the PowerShell command:
Update-Module VMware.PowerCLI
Answer [Y] if the PowerShell Gallery is not a trusted repository. That’s it! You can confirm by entering the command:
Get-Module VMware.* -ListAvailable
It will return:
PS C:\Users\cwestwater> Get-Module VMware.* -ListAvailable
Directory: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
