Going Core with VMware PowerCLI!
summary
Claims that legacy VMware PowerCLI scripts run on PowerShell v6 without editing are demonstrated by concrete fixes: reimplementing unsupported cmdlets like get-vmhosthardware via extensiondata and Get-EsxCli, replacing DPAPI credential storage with alternatives (base64 file, Passbolt vault via REST, or hard‑coding), and creating proxy commands to inject host/user/password so connect-viserver accepts a single server parameter. A Docker/Photon vault deploy and an SNMP UDP listener plus ASN.1 parser are built and tested to trigger scripts from vCenter alarms; the solutions work. credential store replacement SNMP trap-driven script runner
