Hi Carl,
I tried running VMware vCenter Documentation Script Update Version 1.90 but it ended in an error.
the command line I uses was .\VMware_Inventory_1_9_Signed.ps1 -CompanyName “My Sevret Company Name” -CoverPage “Mod” -UserName “Randy Colvin” -Full -AddDateTime -VIServerName LLC1CCVVC02.CORP.LCL
the script imported a ton of modules, Prompted me for vCenter credentials but failed with the message:
VERBOSE: 02/12/2020 08:28:32: Setting PowerCLI global Configuration
VERBOSE: 02/12/2020 08:28:32: Connecting to VIServer: LLC1CCVVC02.CORP.LCL
Connecting to vCenter failed with the following error: d: ‘Void VMware.Binding.Sts.VmwareSecruityTokenService..ctor(System.Uri)’. This script will now exit.
PS C:\PowershellScripts>
I am running Power CLI 6.5
Any Ideas what the problems is?

I have not seen this error, but if you Google the error there are a lot of hits.
