Copy-VMGuestFile creates unnecessary files

Hi all

I got PowerCLI in version 4.1 and I upgraded to 5.1 because of amazing new features.

In version 4.1, I was copping files with the following command:

Copy-VMGuestFile -LocalToGuest -Source "C:\powcli41.txt" -Destination "C:\Users\unittester\Desktop\powcli41.txt" -VM VMName -GuestUser domain\username -GuestPassword password -HostUser username -HostPassword password -force

and it worked perfectly.

In versions 5.0 and 5.1 on the virtual machine, I can see record extra, unnecessary:

C:\Users\unittester\Desktop\powcli41.txt\powcli41.txt

instead of required

C:\Users\unittester\Desktop\powcli41.txt

Could you explain how to change the order of copy-VMGuestFlie to avoid superfluous powcli41.txt folder?

Kind regards
Przemyslaw Sech

You could do something like that

Copy-VMGuestFile -LocalToGuest -VM $vm -Source C:\test.txt -Destination C:\Temp\ Invoke-VMScript -VM $vm -ScriptType bat -ScriptText "move /Y c:\Temp\test.txt c:\Temp\anothername.txt"

  • How can I remove a Thunderbird. zip created recuvva file?

    My Dell computer is older than 10 years and is ready to be recycled. I used Thunderbird since 2011 and the question is a matter of concern for an exceptional program otherwise.

    The program recover file RECUVVA created a file of all Thunderbird messages called Thunderbird.ZIP deleted. I tried several software to remove the file (AVG, GUM, Glary) and none will delete the file Thunderbird.ZIP.

    The file has migrated from the Dell computer to other computers and external drives.  I loaded a copy of Thunderbird.ZIP file on a small USB drive and the only way to delete this file was to overwrite the USB drive and then reformat it.  I really do not want to reformat several hard drives to remove the Thunderbird.ZIP file.
    

    If you really need to delete a file, use this free utility
    http://LockHunter.com/
    Then, there are a lot of programs that will be "shred" the file so it cannot be retrieved. Wise 360 is a free utility from shredding

  • Recovery disc red - no unnecessary files!

    I have a Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7, service pack 1. It came with a recovery partition. The partition has recently turned red. I followed the instructions to ensure there is no unnecessary file and there is not.  Any other ideas?

    When you request support, please provide the model name and product number full (pn) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

    I've never had a HP Recovery partition turns red, but which does not mean that it can't happen. In general, it is following a program to write data in the partition and it exceeds the windows 'threshold '. If you have not already created your HP recovery media, do so now. HP recovery support is your insurance against hard corruption or failure.

    If you have not already created your media and the HP Recovery Manager does not allow you to create media at this time, please contact the official support HP customer in your area / country, via the Portal Support HP's worldwide, in order to determine whether the HP recovery media is available for your computer.

  • Can my HP Deskjet 3520 e-all-in-one printer/copier/Scanner "scan to file"?

    All HP printers/copiers/scanners scan so I can create a file on my laptop for what is copied?  I think buying a refurbished, given that all previous HP scanner/copiers/printers worked without problem.  I replaces one that I bought about 9 years ago. Thank you!

    Scan and copy are two different functions: to the scan function, you can save scanned images/files to your computer and to copy funtion, it copies and gives you on the discharge papers. Back to your question: Yes, it can create and save files to your computer using the scan function.

  • Can we create backup files to another folder with timestamp of a file in another folder?

    Original title: automate the process to create backup files.

    Can we create backup files to another folder with timestamp of a file in a different folder.
    My goal is: when I dump/copy the files in the folder 1, saving the same file must be created in the folder with timestamp 2.
    This will apply even if I change the file existing on the record 1 (i.e. If I change an exixting file in folder 1, this change should reflect by creating a new file with timstamp)

  • OfficeJet 4500 scan does not create a file on disk

    Recently purchased, this replaces a PhotoSmart HP 2570, no problem with the software install, printer setup, network (ethernet connected), etc. Print and copy of work. Did not try the fax. Scan to file (pic to file) does not create a file on the disk that you use the HP Solution Center or on the button scan Panel before starting the scan.  "Preview scan" and "launch Windows Explorer in the save location after saving the files" are both checked.  I also used different 'save locations' and even created a new subfolder "temp1" from the root C: and set security to be "full control" for all of the listed users.  During a scan, all works well until and including the scan preview projected.  When "Finish" is selected, a progress dialog box is shown with a message to «Finish the scan of the computer...» "reasonable given the"Save location"by which the progress bar gets about 2/3 full and then disappears.  Windows Explorer does not start in the save location and there is no file created anywhere on the disk.

    Appreciate sincerely all serious and constructive comment.  If I don't get this resolved, I need to go back and return to the PhotoSmart...

  • Folder permissions in Windows 7 - a program that creates a file always has the authority to check the size of this file?

    Hello

    Where I work, we have a phone call, saving application that creates records of calls as .wav files.

    Before placing each record in long-term storage, the application creates a copy of the file (which is smaller) MP3 and then made a calculation of the free space to ensure that there is place in the long term for the newly created file storage.

    As part of the application must check the size of the MP3 file that he had just created and - I thought - calculation of space under Windows 7 that determination of the size of the file is sometimes a failure.

    (I think I understand, is that a .net function allows to determine the size of the file.)

    My query...

    If an application has sufficient privileges to create a file in a folder on the drive C: of the PC default also always have the right to determine the size of this file?

    Or are these two completely separate rights?

    For example, is it possible to have with no other rights granted write access?

    Thank you very much.

    The order of the questions, you asked:

    Yes

    Yes

    NO.

    It is indeed possible to give the file 'write' - access to the account, but not 'read' - access. However, even in this case the account can determine the size of the file.

    Log in under the account you are using for the conversion allows you to confirm my answers. To see the size of a file, use Windows Explorer or the Console command "dir".

  • In ultimate windows 7, when I want to paste or create a file on USB, windows says: the disk is write protected. ?

    in Window 7 Ultimate. When I want to create a file or paste a file copied to a USB port or flash memory, windows cannot perform this action and the message: the disk is write protected.but when I used the same USB Win XP, disc is OK and not write-protected.
    I tried this question on several USB key, but the result was the same.
    anydody can help me?

    Hi Saleh2506,

    You can try and remove the disc, remove the write protection (by reversing a tab on the disk), and then try again.

    If you do not have the valve on the USB, try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    1. Click Start , type regedit.exe and press ENTER.

    2. navigate to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrrentControlSet\Control

     

    3. control with the right mouse button and select new and key.

    4. call it as StorageDevicePolicies.

    5. click on StorageDevicePolicies and on the right pan right click and select new > DWORD and name it as WriteProtect.

    6 double-click it and set its value to 0.

    This will disable the write protection on USB/flash drives.

    Restart your computer and check to see if that fixes the problem.

    Important The above section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
