(EDIT: Same issue already reported here: Invoke-VMScript - An error occurred while sending the request )
Hello folks,
I used to run Invoke-Vmscript againts our Environment to automate Template Creation.
Recently it stopped working, not sure when exactly. Targeted VM's OS is "Server 2016".
For example when I'm running the following PoSh:
Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText "get-service" -VM $VM -GuestCredential (get-credential)
I'm getting the following Error:
Invoke-VMScript : 02.04.2019 11:54:59 Invoke-VMScript An error occurred while sending the request.
At line:1 char:1
+ Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText "get-service" -VM $VM -GuestUser Administ ...

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Invoke-VMScript], ViError
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_VmGuestServiceImpl_DownloadFileFromGuest_DownloadError,VMware.VimAutomation.ViC
ore.Cmdlets.Commands.InvokeVmScript
Credentials are correct, I'm seeing a confirmation in the VM Eventlog that the user was sucessfully authenticated. (Eventsource: VGauth, EventID: 1000, Message: vmtoolsd: Username and password successfully validated for 'Administrator')
I also see a brief appearance of a cmd.exe in Taskmanager on the VM.
No other related Events in Eventlog.
Also tried different Clients to run the script, and different target VMs too.
I also ensured that the Client running the script is able to access the ESX Host via Port 443 and (because I read it somewhere: 902 works also)
No more ideas... anyone else? Thanks for any help!
