Resolution
You can uninstall VMware PowerCLI by deleting the VMware PowerCLI modules from the NM client.
To find the location of the VMware.PowerCLI modules on the NM client, run Get-Module -ListAvailable VMware*
in Powershell.
Navigate to the directory in File Explorer and delete all of the modules that start with VMware. Then reinstall PowerCLI from the VMware vSphere Configuration media, procedure(Installing VMware PowerCLI) in the Virtual Management Server Software User Guide.
