Hopefully I can figure something out. It wouldbe awesome if it did have dvswitch support – we have a mess of dvswitches and we have to consolidate a lot of things right now.

The argument is null or empty. Supply an argument that is not null or empty and then try the command again. I had the same as above, removed the switches and re-run, it works OK. It seems that it does not like if you pre-create switches. Hi Al, this doesn’t work for me (ESXi 3.5 & ESXi 4)…this is the error:

It gives the error 'The argument cannot be null or empty' just after enumerating the virtual switches and trying to create the first portgroup. If I find time I'll try to dig into the code myself but I'm no Virtu-Al! Hi Al, like Mark I’m unable to run this against an ESX 4 update 1 host.
