At least with the latest PowerCLI versions the WARNING messages that appear with the ESXi 8.0 image profile are just warnings and do not prevent a successful export!

I have noticed the same thing where it is not creating the image, but unfortunately, this is not due to an issue with the script itself but may be due to an issue with the ImageProfile for ESXi 8.0. This is not something that we can fix, however.

the current workaround is to export the image to an offline bundle (.zip) via -oZip, then re-running the script importing the offline bundle via iZip to convert it to an .iso

Thanks. That worked, although the iso created does not seem to be bootable that way. Different case I guess, but I'd thought I'd mention it.
