I'm having trouble downloading the VMware PowerCLI module because my corporate network uses a proxy and I can't seem to get past Broadcom's restrictions when using either my personal or work email. Is there a workaround or any way to install it offline?

You can still try installing it from the PowerShell Gallery using the command `Install-Module VMware.PowerCLI`. They list a bunch of their modules there, but you should definitely check the licensing since it may have changed recently. If not, maybe consider switching to Hyper-V or Proxmox as an alternative!
If you really need to do it offline, you might want to check this link: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/VMware.PowerCLI/13.3.0.24145081. Just make sure you have access to that gallery. It’s been available for a while, so you shouldn’t necessarily need to go through VMware to download it.
Yeah, you can save it locally with this command: `save-module vmware.powercli -path *downloadpath* -repository psgallery` if that works better for you!
