If I comment the line with the call to shutdown-vmguest it works all fine until the end of the script.

Do you get anything printed out if you insert the following line before the actual Shutdown-VMGuest command in vmware.ps1?

 

Write-Host "Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $vmname -Confirm:`$false";

 

So, it'd look like this:

 

write-host "2a";
Write-Host "Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $vmname -Confirm:`$false";
Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $vmname -Confirm:$false;

 

Cheers,

Lain
