Hi,

you have a dollar-sign character ($) in your password, you must use single quotes to prevent the shell from interpreting $VMr00t as a variable:

vmware_cbt_tool.py -s 192.168.20.4 -o 443 -u administrator@vsphere.local -p '12#$VMr00t' -d Cloud -f /Vms -v NFE --enablecbt

Does it work then?

Regards,

Stephan

Does it work when using single quotes around the password?

Hello, this fix worked. The special symbol in the password stalls causing the error.

Thank you.
