is esxi-host a windows machine? I'm guessing a bit here but it looks to me
like powershell isn't processing the script you are sending to this machine.
I suggest rather than 'hosts: all' you define some groups in your inventory
and put all the windows hosts in a separate group, and set up the
windows-specific connection parameters there.
Also worth considering using the vmware_* modules, which will talk to your
vcenter hosts and manage many of the things you might otherwise manage via
powercli.
Hope this helps,
Jon
