I suspect you are using the VDSPowerCLI fling ?

[LucD]

If yes, you should probably do

Get-Vds -Name newvds | Remove-Vds

[saidar]

The same result

I try reinstall powercli 5.0.1 and add Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.VdsComponent into powercli

resolve the problem ,working fine now

thanks

There have been messages in the comments about the VDSPowerCLI having problems with the most recent PowerCLI versions.

Quote from the comments: "FYI, removed powercli 5.1 and reinstalled 5.0 version and now it works as expected".

Which PowerCLI version are you using ?

Get-PowerCLIVersion
