From your command output, it looks like you are trying to connect to a system running ONTAP 9.3 - in that case, you'll want to use the Connect-NcController command instead (the "C" in the cmdlet names denotes CDOT) to connect to your cluster. From there, you can use Get-NcQuotaReport to get the data that you're looking for.
