Got this working on my own windows 10 laptop
Having issues getting it working onsite, they use a proxy
So i used the old msi (build VMware-PowerCLI-6.5.0-4624819) and that worked until today
I now get the error message
. : File C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1 cannot be

Tried below link and changed it to unrestricted and its still the same
Any ideas on how best to get this working again? I think they may have created a policy so its not in use here but wanted to do my own checking first
It looks like a GPO issue which is being enforced and then inherited by this machine. You'd need to check with the AD admin to see what is being linked here.
Hi,
Please make sure the powershell Execution Policy has been set properly on your system (Set-ExecutionPolicy ), Also please note that there are 2 versions of powershell on system (32 and 64bit) and each has it's own Execution policy. You can check the current policy with Get-Executionpolicy command in powershell.
