Does a simple command like this work:  echo "abc" > c:\test.txt

Did you load in your script that you execute the snap in Power Tools?

     Example here:Power CLI ESXi Host Profile

Can you use these built in tasks?

It would be nice to see the code in question to make sure it's correct.  Also, are you importing the UCS Central PowerTool module into the script?  Unless you've done some really good manipulation behind the scenes to auto load all the modules you have on the device, you might have to declare the import of the module in your PowerShell script.

Like a

Import-Module CiscoUcsCentralPS (I know this is from an older version of the UCS Central PowerTool, but it's the one I had in front of me via a script I wrote already.

--j

Correct – the modules need to be imported. The power shell agent does not act the same as a user logging in and inheriting certain modules on the fly.
