from a windows server (2012r2) in the same env. as both vcenter and srm I have connected to vcenter with powercli (no issues there)
but when i try connect-srmserver, i get errors, i have tried various combinations of the command with srm server IP and usernames and passwords trying to follow the command reference here Online Documentation - Cmdlet Reference - VMware {code} and 11.2 users guide https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/72479a44-60ed-4b00-839a-0e442d85a863/6a9f9b49-367a-4ece-b543-… .
i have an older env. (vcenter and srm 6.5 on windows and this works without issues, so i have an idea of how the commands work, the end goal is to load up the api)
PS C:\> Connect-SrmServer
