Description

Code is using Test-NetConnection in multiple Functions and if a customer uses Core Powershell not Desktop, customer will get errors around connection to vCenter or NSX not able to connect. This will cause errors like:
ERROR Connection to 'XXXXXX' has failed. Check your environment and try again
[01-16-2024_17:36:20] ERROR at Script Line 148
[01-16-2024_17:36:20] Relevant Command: Write-PowerManagementLogMessage -Type ERROR -Message "Connection to '$server' has failed. Check your environment and try again" -Colour Red
[01-16-2024_17:36:20] ERROR Message: Connection to 'XXXXXXXX' has failed. Check your environment and try again

Need to update code to check Desktop vs Core on Powershell

We have some code in another module that will correct this issue.

[burnsjared0415]

I thought we did, just did not want to make the change with out approval

[tenthirtyam]

Take a look at Test-EndpointConnection from PVS - we might be able to use much of the same but not require PVS for this module as a dependency.

[burnsjared0415]

could we add the Test-EndpointConnection to PowerManagement and just update all Test-NetConnections to Test-EndpointConnection? we can make the Function not Export

[tenthirtyam]

Yea, as long as the scripts do not use it directly.

[burnsjared0415]

Push with change from Test-NetConnection to Test-Endpoint Complete
