Works for me on ONTAP 9.8:

PS C:\> Invoke-NcSsh -Name x.x.x.x -Command version
Keyboard-interactive authentication prompts from server:
End of keyboard-interactive prompts from server

NcController : x.x.x.x
Value :

NetApp Release 9.8: Wed Dec 09 01:07:39 UTC 2020

Maybe try removing/unistalling the module and reinstalling?

Alternately, you could look into posh-ssh:

Hey ,

This is weird , I tried the same thing on my external network with ontapp 9.3 and it is working fine.

I guess it is something internal .

Thank you I will work on it

A little late here, but in my experience, I've had to follow these steps to get Invoke-NcSSH to work (I got this from another community thread that I don't have the link to at the moment):

Make sure you are running PSTK 4.5P1 or greater

Make sure you are using Putty 0.70 or greater

Connect to any target servers using Putty so that the SSH key is added to the hosts file

In Regedit:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SimonTatham (Right click, permissions)

All application packages: Full Control

Users (of the local machine your on): Full Control

Open a new PowerShell window.
