• How to run the powershell script of command with several parameters

  Is there a way to run a powershell script from the dialog box run with several parameters? In addition, the path to the script contains spaces, for example, c:\powershell scripts\script.ps1.

  Take a look at http://www.powershell.nu/2009/12/16/running-scripts-with-arguments-in-powershell/ which explains how to pass arguments to a script.

• How to run multiple Powershell scripts in PowerCLI

  I have a large number of scripts that I would run into lots of PowerCLI. I found a way to call some Powershell scripts from a file of commands like the following (with the permission of Jan Egil Ring), which works very well except for scripts PowerCLI where a connection to a VC or ESX Server must be established before the script can be executed:

  PowerShell-command '& C:\MyScripts\script1.ps1 '.

  PowerShell-command '& C:\MyScripts\script2.ps1 '.

  PowerShell-command '& C:\MyScripts\script3.ps1 '.

  If a VC connection is on using Connect-VIServer PowerCLI, then scripts can each be run from the prompt without connection information and credentials, however, if scripts are placed in a file of DOS commands, it is necessary to place an order Connect-VIServer in each script, which will prompt you for credentials every time , so if I have 10 scripts, I will have to enter the credentials of 10 times. Is it possible to establish the connection and then run a set of Powershell scripts, or is there a way to integrate the identification information in the script so that it will connect to the VI server without asking confirmation?

  Thank you

  2 options 1 persist credentials on disk, you can find the code on poshcode.org to do.

  Option 2 is to use - Session when using Connect-VIServer. The session is stored in the variable $defaultVIServer. If write you it to a file you can load this file and re-use this same session, assuming that it is still valid (i.e. it has not expired.)

• How to run a Powershell script via a batch file

  I'm new on using Powershell and I have a fundamental question regarding running a powershell script. Basically, I wrote a file of commands as shown below.

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" - NoExit-command "C:\MyScripts\RunSpanshot.ps1".

  I run the batch file and nothing seems to happen. What is the problem with trying to run the RunSpanshot.ps1 script as shown above? -any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  You could do

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" -NoExit -Command "& 'C:\My Scripts\RunSpanshot.ps1'"
  

• Run the powershell script in Workflow VCO

  Hi guys,.

  I'm pretty new to VCO and I am facing difficulties to get what I want. For you, this will be a Basic... but here's my question:

  I have a WF that I use in the WFStubmachineprovisionning that can generate me a name of virtual machine based on the selection of the user while he asked for a virtual computer in the VRA.

  The VM provisionned name looks like this: W203PKLXXX and I need to replace the XXX with a number that is available on the network.

  To do this, I need to query the DNS to see if there is, if not, 002 001... And so on... until an available and I send the full name of the virtual machine to the WF Stubprovisionning.

  This my first try to interact between VCO and a Powershell script. I can run script PS on my host configured, but do not know how to send variables to the custom WF that generates the name of the script of PS and send the name of VM from the script of the PS to the next step.

  Can someone give me a sample of variable to manage? I can't find anything on the net

  Just to tell you that I managed.

  the PS has returned an XML object, not a string. I had to use the method getxml() javascript property, and parse the string to get the value I need

  I also had to blind correctly (getxml) entry and exit (PS)

  If needed I can send you a few screenshoot

• Run the PowerShell script?

  flash.filesystem import. *;

  import flash.desktop.NativeProcess;

  import flash.desktop.NativeProcessStartupInfo;

  var file:File = new File("C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe");

  var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();

  nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;

  var args:Vector. < String > = new Vector. < String > ();

  args.push("c:\\test\\sendTest.ps1");

  nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;

  process: NativeProcess var = new NativeProcess();

  Process.Start (nativeProcessStartupInfo);

  Try to get Powershell to run sendTest.ps1 in the c:\test folder. I get no error or anything else.

  If I have this number at the command prompt:

  c:\test\sendTest.ps1 PowerShell

  It works very well. But I can't get the correct syntax to run it from the AIR.

  Someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  You must set ExecutionPolicy argument:

  var args:Vector. = new Vector.();
  args.push("-ExecutionPolicy");
  args.push("Unrestricted");
  args.push("c:\\test\\sendTest.ps1");
  

  Without correct ExecutionPolicy, you get PowerShell PSSecurityException error. You can listen for events from native process of ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA to see.

• Run the cmd PowerShell script

  Hello

  I am trying to run a powershell script from a file cmd with the snap of VMware has added. Here's what I'm trying to run:

  PowerShell.exe - noexit Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core | k:\work\DeployVM.ps1

  He adds the snap, and then launches the ps1 in Notepad, which is obviously not what I'm after. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing, but I can't get it. The reason why I want to run it this way is to associate with a button, vb, I've sorted everything else, just this last piece, I need to finish.

  See you soon,.

  Josh

  If there is a reason that you do not add the Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core as the first line of your script, then you can run it as below:

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" "& C:\MyScript.ps1 '"

• Running Powershell script with ESXCLI commands via a scheduled task in Windows 2012 does not work.

  I'm trying to run a powershell script of a scheduled task in Windows 2012. The script calls the commands ESXCLI and ends with success (exporting to a CSV file) but the file has no data inside.  If I run the script manually without the scheduled task file has all the I expect to exit.

  I wonder if there is a framework with Powershell or a PSSnapin I need to add to the script for it to run via a scheduled task.  Has anyone done this before with the ESXCLI commands?

  panhvr - you may to something.  The process account that I use to run this script has only read-only access in vCenter.  I logged on the server I am running these reports with the process ID and tried to run the script.  He gave me errors indicating permission to perform the operations of esxcli was denied.

  I think we found the culprit!  I'll have this process ID in vCenter rights upward.

  Thank you all!

  Hello-

  Ah, yes--it is that review.

  Another option, because you are not able to go to .NET FX 4.5, is to remove the parts "[ordered]' of the code that you use.  This type Accelerator makes the hash table a dictionary sorted.  The effect to remove that from the code will be that the properties of the object that results will not be in the order in which they appear in the code.

  And, another option would be to install PowerShell v3 (the version in which the '[ordered]' feature has been added').  That shouldn't require a FX .NET newer than what you showed as having already installed on this computer.  However, as we have seen with the PSSnapin and PSv4 Exchange, you want to make sure that the PSSnapins / Modules you want to use are compatible with PowerShell v3.

• PowerShell script for DR purposes

  Hey all, coming from a windows background that I tend use VI Client to all of my needs, but I'm trying to get in tune with the tools and scripts what better then to do with powershell. We are currently running VI 3.5 U5 and VC 4.0 U1. What we want to do is to use powershell to do a few steps from our DR plan. We would like to be able to break the snapmirror, sweep guests ESX DR, once all LUNS are present we want to then be able to run the powershell script and record all virtual machines of the Rd. and put back them online. I'm still looking since I found a few pieces of the puzzle, but I would appreciate greatly any input in this case.

  Thanks again.

• Newbie question - tide may run a remote PowerShell script or BAT file?

  My first post.  I am new to raz, but I've had experience with other planners.

  I have a PowerShell script that must be run on a remote computer.  All the script needs software is installed on this computer.

  In addition, I need the script runs under a service account.  Is it possible and if yes, how can I go about it?

  This work will be be launched manually whenever this is necessary.

  Sure. There are some screenshots. A variable one, I used for the location of the folder on the server of tide (not required but I use a lot of scripts). One for the command of tide itself. The last one is the script runs remotely on windows work. Let me know if they don't make sense.

• Best way to run a script from a script

  Hello world

  I'm looking for running a script from an After Effects script, so far, there is aftereffects.executeScript (scriptContent) who use eval to run the script. The problem is that it uses eval so it is not really sure and he is slower. So I would like to know what is actually used when we file-> Script-> Run script file.

  As seen in the Javascript tool Guide CC page 168 in the section QAnywhere Corss-DOM.

  aftereffects.executeScript(theScriptContent); // Doesn't work with a script which as comments AND the script has access to my scope
  

  In addition, if there are comments like / * * / or / * / in the script I want to run, it no longer works.

  So, what is the best way to run a script from a script?

  If you want to evaluate a whole script file, you can use $.evalFile (file, timeout) - see description in ESTK object model viewer

  To evaluate a bit of code, you can use eval, that's for sure.

• Struggling to run Powershell scripts / commands

  Hi all!

  I'm fighting to get the Powershell vCO workflow.  I think I missed something really obvious, but I can't see it...

  I did the set Kerberos in place on the line of my vCO 5.5.2 machine.  I added a Powershell v2 host using VMWare provided Powershell 1.0.4 workflows plugin install, Kerberos authentication and using a shared account (mine, I know that I am an admin on Windows Server).  I assured the Kerberos authentication and unencrypted traffic is accepted on the Powershell host.  If I validate the object created at the CVO, he says it's fine.

  When I come to run another VMware provided workflow, I get responses to error because the workflow doesn't seem to be properly trained, or I get a null response.  When I run a workflow, I can see my account by logging in the Windows Server 2008 security log, so I'm pretty confident that the basic connection and portions of Kerberos are all ok.

  I just tried to simplify a VMware provided workflow, to make it as a possible base (code below).  I always get a Null response.  Anyone have any ideas why?  Or did someone is able to provide the code for a very simple Powershell-based workflow that they know works so I can test it on my set up?

  The VMWare-based simple powershell script provided one to get the contents of some directories and the values that I use - it returns null:

  the hostentry, type: PowerShell:PowerShellHost, value: < myPowershellHostSelectedFromPluginManually >

  Directoryentry, type: String, value: I manually enter $home.  Or C:.  Or C:\Windows.  Or any other directory I know there is that my user account has no light problem.

  output of the result, type: string, value: regardless of the ("DIR" + directory) output >

  var Sess;

  connect to the host

  Sess = host.openSession)

  Send the command in powershell

  sess.addCommandFromString ("dir" + directory)

  invoke the command

  invResult = sess.invokePipeline ();

  get the result

  Result = invResult.getResults)

  Send to open a session

  System.log ("Result is" + result)

  Thank you very much in advance!

  And there we go...  Who sets: powershell.exe wasn't in the path of the Windows host!

  Thanks for the help everyone, especially igaydajiev for giving me the pointer of the final to my answer!
