Connect-NaController odd bug

Hello all, I believe I've stumbled upon a bug in the Connect-NaController cmdlet in the toolkit.  To reproduce the issue, run the following code chunk:

Import-Module DataONTAP -Verbose

Connect-NaController "toaster"

You should get the following error:

Connect-NaController : Could not find file 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\m2tkuh8b.dll'.

At line:1 char:21

+ Connect-NaController <<<<  ah-3040-1

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Connect-NaController], FileNotFoundException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.FileNotFoundException,DataONTAP.PowerShell.SDK.ConnectNaController

Unfortunately, my script was several hundred lines of code, in which I was setting the $VerbosePreference variable to "Continue" (effectively the same as calling -Verbose on all cmdlets) and also had issues making the connection between the vague error message above and its cause so it took quite a bit of effort to find the root cause.

Hopefully, this can be addressed in an update.  Thanks!
