You can check this.... it should help

How can I connect to the server via cli also please guide from basic commands. I never performed it.

Error: Invalid server certificate. Use Set-powerCLIConfigurationto set the value for the InvalidCertification option prompt.

Used below command

Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -ParticipateInCEIP $true

Before you try the steps in production, i request you to try in a lab setup environment and test the scripts..

Thanks,
MS

I am still fetching help on this.
Though it helped with few knowledge but script is throwing error as I need to change both source network and Datastore.

I used below and was able to migrate them successfully #Put the path of the csv file
 $vms = Import-CSV "C:\test\Testback.csv"
 foreach ($vm in $vms)
 {
 #Assign Variables
 $VMName = ($vm.Name1,$vm.Name2)
 $VMHost = ($vm.Host)
 $DD = ($vm.Datastore)
 $OldNetwork = ($vm.OldNetwork)
 $Net = ($vm.Network)
 Write-Host $VMName
 Write-Host $vm.Host
 Write-Host $vm.Datastore
 Write-Host $vm.Network
 Write-Host $vm.OldNetwork
 #Power off vms
 Get-VM -Name $VMName | Shutdown-VMGuest
 #Where the VM gets Migrated 
 Move-VM -VM $VMName -Destination $VMHost -Datastore$DD
 Get-VM $VMName | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName $Net -Confirm:$false
 #Power On VMs
 #Start-VM $VMName -Confirm 
 }
