(Not) Using PowerShell v2 to View WSMan Data From ESX

Today I was trying to get at my "Health Status" data on my ESX servers though PowerShell using the tutorial posted on the PowerCLI Blog (Monitoring ESX Hardware with Powershell), but I kept getting an "Access Denied" message. I did a little more research into using WSMan in PowerShell and discovered that before V2, there was a way to use a COM object to query WSMan that gave you a little more control over the connection (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.11.heyscriptingguy.aspx).
