I have a Ranorex test which runs successfully when running it, directly, on a VM.
When calling this test remotly, by using Invoke-VMScript (running a batch file that calls the test), it fails with "operation requires an interactive window station".
I have administrator privileges on the computer.
Any idea what am I doing wrong?
I seem to be going round in circles on this one.
Is there an easy way to to query the vDS and return the hostnames of the connected ESX hosts?
I can get it using Moref via the following kind of thing:
Get-VDSwitch | ForEach {
$SwMORefs = $_.ExtensionData.Config.host.config.host.value
$SwitchName = $_.Name
$SwitchName
ForEach ($MR in $SwMORefs) {
$AttachedHost = Get-VMHost | Where {$_.ExtensionData.MoRef -match $MR}
$AttachedHost
}
}
...but this seems a bit complex and slow?
I am trying to fetch the patch,AV and application service status using invoke cmdlet. Its failing to write the output.
If I try to get McAfee and Service status its displaying the output but for the third script which is failing to write output($hotfixinfo).
If I log in to the VM manually and execute it I can get the output.

#|Export-Csv -Path 'C:\My Data\CSV Output\report.csv' -NoTypeInformation -NoClobberHi guys,
This filtering option, where can i find it other properties?
Found this in Get-VM|Get-Snapshot|Where{$_.Created-lt(Get-Date).AddDays(-7)}|Remove-Snapshot
from the command above i understood about what it will do but what i'm looking for and try to understand is the filter object $_.Created, i assumed it has other option as well than $_.Created which i wanted to understand due the nature of the filter object is not something you could enter tab button as like commandlet where it will assist you options of the syntax(i think).
Hello, as you probably know the only way to find out about HBA firmware and driver versions these days is by running:
/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmgmt_keyval/vmkmgmt_keyval -d to see which are the HBA devices, then
/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmgmt_keyval/vmkmgmt_keyval -l -i vmhba1/qlogic to actually retrieve the needed info for a hba. In this particular case I get this precious data below:
value:
QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QMH2562:
FC Firmware version 8.02.00 (90d5), Driver version 2.1.50.0
which I need to retrieve from all my ESXi and save to a file. I enjoy writing simple powercli scripts but I'm puzzled about this one. I know that esxcli commands can be scripted too but what about this? I could script something with plink
$plink = plink path
$plinkAuth=" -v -pw $Pswd"
$remoteCommand='/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmgmt_keyval/vmkmgmt_keyval -l -i vmhba1/qlogic'
$command="Echo Yes| "+$plink+" "+$plinkAuth+" "+$User+"@"+$hostName+" "+$remoteCommand
$result=Invoke-Expression-command$command
$result
but as the command above throws quite some stuff I don´t know how to grab only the data output I need and save it. Obviously this is to compare with vmware compatibility matrix later. Anyone did this? I already checked Re: Host Hardware info with HBA and nic driver information but the following values are returned blank, and not sure those match the ones above that I need. I already added the -V2 switch to the script of that post.
Fnicvendor :
fnicdriver :
enicdriver :

So it seems I'm never done with this script. I want there to be default answers in some areas, and if a user passes something that's invalid it asks again until they pass a proper bit of info.
$type = Read-Host "Enter Host or Cluster"
if ($type -eq "Cluster")
{
Get-Cluster | Select Name | sort Name | Format-List #Gets a list of clusters in the vCenter#
$Cluster = Read-Host "Enter Cluster Name"
$myCluster = Get-Cluster -Name "$Cluster"
Get-VMHost -Location "$myCluster" -state "Connected" | sort Name | Select Name,ConnectionState,PowerState | Format-Table #Lists the host from the cluster specified earlier#
}
else
{
Get-VMHost | where {$_.state -eq "Connected"} | sort Name | Select Name,ConnectionState,PowerState | Format-Table
}
$vmHost = Read-Host "Enter host name"
Get-Datastore -VMHost $vmHost | where {$_.type -eq "NFS"} | Select @{N="Cluster";E={$cluster.Name}},Name,CapacityGB,FreespaceGB,@{N='UsedSpace';E={$_.FreeSpaceGB/$_.CapacityGB*100}} | Out-Default #Lists datastores and capacity#
$datastore = Read-Host "Enter Datastore Name"
$myDatastore = Get-DataStore -Name "$datastore"
$ovfhost = Read-Host "Enter path to OVA/OVF"
$vmName = Read-Host "Enter a name for the VM"
$diskStorage = Read-Host "Enter Thin, Thick or EagerZeroedThick for disk format"
Import-vApp -Source "$ovfhost" -VMHost $vmHost -Location $myCluster -Name "$vmName" -DiskStorageFormat $diskStorage -Datastore $myDatastore #Imports the OVA/OVF into vCenter#
Sleep 10
$VMmove = Read-Host "Enter folder to move VM to"
Move-VM -VM $vmName -Destination $VMmove #Moves VM to the appropriate folder#
Get-Cluster -Name "$Cluster" | Get-VMHost -Name "$vmHost" | Foreach-Object {$strClusterName = $_.Parent.Name; Get-VirtualPortGroup $_ | Select-Object @{N="Cluster";E={$strClusterName}},Name,VLanId} #Gets available VLANs from the host#
$VLAN = Read-Host "Please enter the VLAN name to use"
$NIC = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vmName
So for the first part for $type it defaults to Host which I'm fine with. After that I get a list of only hosts that are in the Connected state. I'd like it if someone could just only type a name from the list provided, and if they don't provide one it prompts again. Same thing would be fore the rest really, for the datastore, disk storage, folder path (hoping they put in a valid path) and VLAN type. I'm new to all of this and have been googling around, just haven't found what I need yet.

Currently I know how to create a task for a VM for a scheduled recurring nightly task through the Web client, but I can't seem to figure out a way to create a task via PowerCLI. Hopefully I'm just missing something really obvious.
Ultimately what I'd like to do is be able to something like search for a VM using Get-VM -VM $vmname and pipe that to return any scheduled tasks that vm has and if it currently doesn't have one then I'd love to be able to set a new task. In the context of my current use case, just simply scheduling a nightly reboot.
Sorry if I'm just missing something obvious, I'm just starting to dive into PowerCLI and loving what I can do so far.
Thanks!
Clearly this isn't possible using New-DRSRule as the 'KeepTogether' parameter is boolean which only allows for specifying an affinity or anti-affinity rule.
So is it even possible to define an Orchestrated Restart rule via PowerCLI?
If it is possible, how is it done?
Not really sure how it went this way but all other write-host was able to show output as i expected but not from these lines

Hi,
my goal is to create a reboot vm task guest os on a weekly basis every sunday night in vcenter
i have roughly 700 VM and i need to add a reboot task in vcenter for each vm
how can i automate the task creation for all vm ?
as far as i know there is no cmdlet command yet available to create vm tasks
is it possible ? perhaps there is a way around cmdlets commands....
any help will be appreciated
thanks

Hi all,
I'm new with Cloud Director and PowerCLI and I would like connect my vCD to create some stuffs. But when I try to connect my vCD, I receive the following error:

Any idea is welcome...
Thx
Do to the nature of my job I deal with multiple individual esx hosts. They are nt part of vcenter cluster. The script below works....somewhat.....NTP section is fine.....It is the portgroup section....it will apply the tags to the first host portgroup..then red inks and gives me a time out error.....I have tried to pipe portgroup commands to a start-stop to delay the tagging but it didnt except....any help would be appreciated. This script is in first draft phase and I am just trying to get portgroups to tag on multiple hosts with exact same configuration.

i need to get the number of vCPUs on a VM and then cast the value into an integer data type.
$cpus = [int]( get-vm sqlvm1 | select NumCPU)
However it is telling me it can’t convert the data type of NumCPU to an int.
any ideas?
