    This forum is for Version 4.x support of the iControl API. In the future for PowerShell related questions if you could post them to the Labs forums, they might get answered quicker.

     

     

    As for your question...

     

     

    Are you using a proxy server to connect to your BIG-IP via the browser? That may be a reason why the connection is failing through the Cmdlet. If so, try using the -ProxyAddress, -ProxyPort, -ProxyUser, and -ProxyPass parameters to the Initialize-F5.iControl Cmdlet to see if that fixes things. If not, let me know and we'll see if we can work it out.
