I'm in Nuget Helll

There's your problem. Without *all* of the updates installed, VS 2015 doesn't have very good nuget support. 2017+ should be good out of the box, but latest updates are always recommended.
I neglected to see whatnuget version is installed. However, that doesn't solve the problem at work. We don't have an internet connection to our dev boxes, and I've spent the last few hours trying to get a local private extension gallery working so I can update nuget to the latest version for vs2015. VS2015 has update 3 on it.

It doesn't appear as if that is possible in NuGet 3.4.4... And we can't update VS due to group policies. Once the machine is joined to the network, we can't update Visual studio, so when there’s an important patch, we have to RE-IMAGE our boxes, apply the patches, and then connect it to the network, at which point group policies are applied automatically.

That way the IT folks don't have the ability to force policies that keep you from doing your jobs down your throats. I've been working that way for years and it's kept the IT Nazis at bay for the most part.

What makes you think his IT Nazi's either ban VM software entirely or only allow VMs tied into their control system and thus subject to the full power of IT stupidity. At my last (dod contractor) job, Windows VMs were generally banned. Not because of normal IT Nazi control freakism; but because their license management cluster:elephant: couldn't tell the difference between free VM licenses from an MSDN sub and licenses that needed pay for via volume licensing, and there was $0 budget for the latter. :doh:
