Description
DEPRECATED
VMware.PowerCLI has been deprecated by Broadcom and rebranded to VCF.PowerCLI (VMware Cloud Foundation PowerCLI).
As of July 2025, the VMware.PowerCLI module on PSGallery displays a deprecation notice directing users to use VCF.PowerCLI instead. The underlying cmdlets and functionality remain the same—the change is purely a rebranding as part of Broadcom’s VMware Cloud Foundation strategy.
What happens when you install this package?
This deprecated package will automatically install the replacement package vcf-powercli-psmodule as a dependency.
Package Parameters
The replacement package is designed to install the VCF.PowerCLI PowerShell module for the -Scope CurrentUser by default.
The following parameter is available to install the module for -Scope AllUsers.
/ALLUSERS
Example:
choco install vcf-powercli-psmodule --params='"/ALLUSERS"'
Migration
To migrate manually:
choco uninstall vmware-powercli-psmodule
choco install vcf-powercli-psmodule
Or simply update, and the dependency will handle the transition:
choco upgrade vmware-powercli-psmodule
