Some PowerCLI cmdlet does not work with Powershell Remoting

Hi All,

I am trying to run the PowerCLI in a remote powershell session. Connecting to vSphere works just fine however some of the cmdlets just hangs. I checked with Fiddler and it appears that the vSphere actually returns the data.

Does anybody an experiences with this?

I can reproduce it with

$script = {
    Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
    Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Vds
    . "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1"

    Connect-VIServer <vsphere>
    Get-Folder
}

# This works just fint
Invoke-Command $script

$session = New-PSSession localhost
# This just hangs.

Invoke-Command -Session $session $script

If I create an interactive session (using enter-pssession), I can actually get it to work just fine. However enter-pssession is not great for automation.

with regards,

Thomas
