Issues with the set-secureboot function

[ccgutz]

When I use the "get-vm $vm | set-secureboot -enabled" function I get a bunch of errors:

---

Can someone help me? Thanks.

Hi Charlie, please can you confirm which version of vSphere you are running these functions against? They require vSphere 6.5. I can reproduce your error by running against vSphere 6.0.
