| Connect to the Virtual Centre using the following command using your normal username and password (same as you'd use to log into the VI Client). You will need access to the servers on TCP 443.
| |
| Connect-VIServer -Server uklonvcp1 -User <user> -Password <pass>

| Be aware that PowerShell commands generally return objects, rather than text, and that the textual representation of the return object is often abbreviated for simplicity. To see the entire return for a command, pipe the result into <code>Format-List</code>. To complicate matters further, some return objects contain further objects, see examples below
