• GUI for the PowerCLI scripting

  Someone knows a software or tool that generate the GUI for the PowerCLI scripting?

  There are a few, Sapien is free and it's called PrimalForms Community Edition.

• Collection for the PowerCLI scripting requirements

  Someone at - it a good model that helps you organize information, gathering process when you go to the management or to a customer to get for scripts and automation requirements that they want to do?  Y at - it a Web page or a book that puts this kind of thing in a structured methodology or at least one practical how to guide?

  For example, what kinds of questions should I go to make sure that I understand any of my script is supposed to do and help the management or the customer understand what THEY want to do, and get a consensus agreement on the functional requirements for my powerCLI script?

  Your suggestions of entry, welcome masters strategies.

  This question is not really unique for PowerCLI scripting, but all scripts/programs, to write (for yourself or for a customer |).

  And of course, there are always the classic answer "it depends".

  If it is a small task that you write yourself, the requirements are pretty obvious.

  Most of the time, you have the requirements in your head, but it does not have to write in schematic form.

  When you write for a customer, by definition be more formal (I guess).

  An article I like, is the Introduction to gather our creative use cases and requirements published in the Code review.

• Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

  Hello

  I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

  Thank you.

  $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

  You set a Datastorecluster?

  If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

  Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

  But you can use something like this

  New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

  This will automatically select the VMHost.

  The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

  DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

• Import Excel to use with the PowerCLI script file

  I would try to ingest the VMware Hardening guide Excel file and then use it to run a script on some columns as column "configuration setting.

  If I can get the "Configuration parameter'"desired value""Default value"and"ID of the guideline"a powershell script, it would be easy from there.

  Someone did he do something like that or it can crack in Powershell?

  If you save the HG as XLSX file, just open the XLS and save under a XLSX in Excel, you can use the function import - Excel of Finke.

  How to install and use is described on the Github page.

  So is boils down to

  Import-Excel vSphere_6_0_Hardening_Guide_GA_15_Jun_2015.xlsx |

  Select "Configuration parameter', 'Value', 'Default value',"Orientation Id"

• is there a way to bulk load copyright info to the images?

  is there a way to bulk load copyright info to the images?

  Hello, it depends on if you want to load in the metadata (i.e. as an additional info) or if you want your copyright to appear on the image, to prevent other people to re - use.

  In the case of fist, you can do a metadata template in Bridge. In the second, you will need to define an action in Photoshop. E.g. you can design a model of filling with your logo and make an action that apply it on the image and save it.

• How to switch the input of command in the DAL script parameter

  If so, please help me with sytnax

  
  

  (4) final, how can I call this variable in the script DAL ?

  Is this-> OK

  Metafilename = GVM ('parametername')

  
  

  Thank you
  

  
  

  I reformulerai what I think you do.

  You have a file name that you want to reference it in a script DAL. This file is NOT the snippet file should be able to use in the creation and mapping of your transactional data, but a few additional files that you expect to process directly from DAL.

  If this is correct, two possibilities come to mind.

  1. assuming it's a file that you can copy using your linux script, copy the file to a consistent name. Your script DAL can then use the code name hard you still copied.

  2. a method that does not have a copy of the file would require that you create an environment variable of the linux script that contains the name of the file passed. In your INI, you must define your own INI, something like this:

  Filename = ~ GetEnv MyExternalFile

  The DAL script would do this to get the name:

  xmlFileName = GetINIString ("MyINIGroup", "Filename");

  When DAL is requesting the INI value, see the logic underlying the ~ GetEnv which is a built-in function to get the environment variable named following. So if you have assigned your script linux environment variables, the name going through now and DAL has a way to get it.

  (Note there is no magic in the name of the INI option or group or the name of variable environment you choose to use.) The magic is to use the ~ GetEnv to retrieve the value of the environment when the option is requested.)

  Second note, the GetINIString function has an optional first parameter to name a context INI. In this case, I do not pretend that you use this setting. Just include a comma to indicate that the first parameter is omitted.)

• How to hide the user id and password in the batch scripts

  Hello

  Can help me hide the user id and the password in the batch scripts to automate the process of running script to export and action.

  DRM-batch-customer - credentials.exe is the one that is used to encrypt the user name and password.

  Open this in the command prompt and choose the application that you want to encrypt the password.

  then remove the username and password from command script can run it... It does what you want

• How do you check if Validate is successful in the event Script

  Hello

  I am facing a problem with a script of the 'aftvalidate' event that retrieves the data from the Tsegdata table. The script is written to a file as expected. But I want to put a condition above. I want to run the Script event only if the Validation is successful (that is to say the fish is Orange). I thought that we can use the lngProcState as "11" for success. He is yet to come as "11" even after that validation failed (IE fish is grey) and therefore running the script of the event. Is there another function that I can make use of, if this isn't the right way to test whether validation succeeded. ?

  Another thing - we have all the features that I use in the script to delete the imported data? I want to use it in the aftvalidate script once the validation is successful and generates the data file.

  Thanks in advance.

  If you want users to export data, but not load, you can try to set option adapter "Allows to load" false.

  With this configuration, users will be able to click on Export but they won't get a LOADING popup.
