Custom Connect-VIServer System.OutOfMemoryException

Hello

I try to use PowerCLI on a remote server, using Enter-PSSession.

Here are the steps I take:

1 enter-PSSession < servername > - Credential < username >

2 add-PSSnapin - name:VMWare.VimAutomation.Core

3 connect-VIServer < VIServername >

Then, I get this error:

Connect-VIServer: 01/01/2012 18:54:27 connect - VIServer Exception from the

of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

+ CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [connect-VIServer], ViError)

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_ConnectivityServiceImpl_Reconnect_Excep

tion, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.cmdlets.Commands.ConnectVIServer

If I do all the above steps locally on the server that I am PS Remoting for, it all works very well... I hope that there are only a few space change of parameter or the memory that I can do to make it work.

I tried communication distance to 2 servers various and also tried PowerCLI 4.1.1 and 5.0.

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

This could be the memory limit when you do remoting of PS.

Try the fix described in access remote of memory exception

Hello Mayur,

Since the question is related to the custom application developed using Microsoft Visual Studio, the question would be better suited on MSDN support.

I suggest you check with the MSDN help for more information.

Extraction of SSL with initial Connect-VIServer

Sorry if this has already been asked before, but I was not able to find it by searching online or in the forums.

When you start a connection to another host of VC/ESXi, there is some information about x 509 certificate as shown below.

* The X 509 chain could not be achieved with the root certificate.

Certificate: [subject]

C = US, CN = vcenter60 - 4.primp - industries.com

[Issuer]

O = vcenter60 - 4.primp - industries.com, C = US, DC = local, DC = vghetto, CN = CA

[Number]

B846B9F36C1D978CEDA0199294E61B4515656396

I would like to enter the thumbprint SSL "B846B9F36C1D978CEDA0199294E61B4515656396"? I looked online and even asked some people but never able to retrieve this property by using PowerShell/PowerCLI. I can do it easily on one other system Windows with openssl (http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/04/extracting-ssl-thumbprint-from-esxi.html), but wanted to see if there is a way without going through relays on the external packaging and since it is available as part of the connect-VIServer, I thought it must be possible but my PowerCLI-Fu isn't quite at the height as the others , figure so I ask. If it is indeed removable, which I guess it is then a bonus would be to format and so I have a variable that looks like: B8:46:B9:F3:6 C: 1 d: 97:8 C: ED: A0:19:92:94:E6:1 B: 45:15:65:63:96

Scheduled - task to connect-VIServer

Hi all. I wrote a script to do some work, but I have a problem with authentication. Whenever it runs it runs under my accout rather one specified in the script.
I followed this guide so so before him below exported a copy of the password for the user account for the script (PSCredentials file)
```
$PowerCLIUserAccount = "DOMAIN\User

$PowerCLIUserPassword = Get-Content PSCredentials | ConvertTo-SecureString
$PowerCLICredentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential $PowerCLIUserAccount, $PowerCLIUserPassword

Connect-VIServer -Server VCSERVER
```
At this point if it is connect but using my account rather than the script details?

Try changing the last line to

SE connect-VIServer-Server VCSERVER - Credential $PowerCLICredentials

Display object changed after Connect-VIServer format

I found the custom effects Connect-VIserver the output format of the my objects. For example
Without to connect-VIServer
```
$output=@()

$hosts = @("host1","host2")
$VMs = @("VM1","VM2")

$obj1 = New-Object psobject
$obj1 | Add-Member NoteProperty -Name "Host" $hosts[0]
$obj1 | Add-Member NoteProperty -Name "VM" $VMs[0]
$obj2 = New-Object psobject
$obj2 | Add-Member NoteProperty -Name "Host" $hosts[1]
$obj2 | Add-Member NoteProperty -Name "VM" $VMs[1]
     
$output = $output + ($obj1, $obj2)

$output
```
Gives this output:
With Connect-VIServer
```
Connect-VIServer localhost -user $VCuser -password $VCpass

$output=@()

$hosts = @("host1","host2")
$VMs = @("VM1","VM2")

$obj1 = New-Object psobject

$obj2 | Add-Member NoteProperty -Name "VM" $VMs[1]
     
$output = $output + ($obj1, $obj2)

$output
```
Output looks like
I can not find a way to fix this and was hoping someone might have a solution?
Thank you

The explanantion of what you see to understand how PowerShell handles objects in the output stream.

We'll find a very good explanation in how PowerShell formatting and output REALLY works.

In short:
- Connect-VIServer returns a VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.VIServerImpl object
- There is no registered view (.ps1xml files) for this type of object
- so out-default leans on the number of properties on the object in the stream 1
- Connect-VIServer more than 5 properties, so off-Format applies to the Format-List
- and all the following objects in the output stream will be displayed with Format-List

Impossible to use Connect-VIServer

I have two machines, both with PowerCLI 5.1 R1. A machine is Server 2003 with .net 2.0 SP1, 3.0 SP1 .net, and installed .net 4 (call this server1). The other machine is Windows 7 with .net installed 4.5 (let's call this Station1). The machine called server1 is also the vCenter Server
When I opened PowerCLI to Workstation1, it connects fine. When I opened PowerCLI on server1, I get the following error:

Install this package, which includes .net Framework 3.5, but also the latest service packs for 2.0 and 3.0.

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=25150

Then I would also download .NET framework of Microsoft security patches, as there were some published since these versions of .NET have been released.

Unable to connect via Connect-VIServer

Hi all!
So here's the scoop:
I have a service account that connects our different servers of vSphere for various applications / reporting tools we use. I have a script to remove the ISO every night - the script works very well except a portion - connecting to the vSphere servers themselves.
Even manually enter the connection string in PowerShell returns the same error:
Cannot complete the connection due to an incorrect user name or password.
I then go to vSphere and use the same credentials and I am able to connect. I don't know where to go with that many other administrative applications use this account and all work fine. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any idea on this issue!
Sincere greetings,
ALAN

This seems to work for me, you can give it a try?

Create the file with the password
```
Read-Host -AsSecureString |
ConvertFrom-SecureString |
Out-File C:\VCS.txt
```
Then to use the encrypted password
```
$user = 'domain\uname' $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential $user,(Get-Content c:\vcs.txt| ConvertTo-SecureString)

Connect-VIServer vcenter -Credential $cred
```

How to make the Connect-VIServer cmdlet to always ask for username password

Hi all
I use the connect-viserver cmdlet to connect between host windows to my vcenter server.
using
The host - Powershell - 2.0, Windows XP, Powercli installed machine.
Target machine - Vcenter server 4.1.0 on windows 2008 server, in the other subnet
I want to have a provision that it must always ask for user name and password to connect.
I took a look at
http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/Vim.virtualmachine.html
resultof = % 22connect - viserver % 22 & http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.PowerCLI.cmdletref.doc_50/connect-VIServer.html
But failed to get the relevant information.
Any ideas?

My mistake, Connect-ViServer does not accept a SecureString. You first need to convert it

Try it like this
```
$userName = "username"
$passwd = Read-Host ("Password for " + $userName) -AsSecureString:$true
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $userName,$passwd
Connect-VIServer -Server MyServer -Credential $cred
```

start-work using connect-viserver hangs in powercli 6

Hello
Previously, I used powercli jobs to execute commands to invoke vmscript quite successfully in our workplaces 5.1 and 5.1.
I'm testing these scripts in vSphere 6 with pwoercli 6 and am having some problems with the script.
An example of the previous scripts that worked is as follows:
-----------------------------------
Start-job-name $vm - RunAs32 - PSVersion 2.0 - scriptblock {}
Param ($vm, $vcentre, $GuestCred, $session)
{if(!$Global:DefaultVIServer)})
If (!) () Get-pssnapin. where {$_.name - eq "vmware.vimautomation.core"})) {}
try {}
Add-pssnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core - ea 0. out-null
} catch {}
throw "could not load the PowerCLI snap."
}
}
try {}
to connect-viserver $vcentre - $session wa - 0 session | out-null
} catch {}
throw "Failed to connect to server VI".
}
}
$TestGuestCredentials = "dir C:\. »
Invoke-VMScript - VM $vm GuestCredential - $GuestCred - $TestGuestCredentials ScriptText
} - ArgumentList, $vm, $GuestCred, $session, $vcentre | FT
-----------------------------------
Now, in powercli 6 using modules that I tried to edit the script as well as the previous option using addsnapin is no longer works:
-----------------------------------
Start-job-name $vm - RunAs32 - PSVersion 4.0 - scriptblock {}

Using the foregoing in powercli 6 that the work never ends. It's as if the connect-viserver command causes a response that requires intervention and locks work.

If I remove the connect-viserver in the work section - it full well.
Any ideas would be very appreciated!
See you soon

Have you tried switching of warning messages via the cmdlet Set-PowerCLIConfiguration , the DisplayDeprecationWarnings parameter?

Need to export Connect-VIServer drive and import it for later use

Hello
I'm trying to export Connect-VIServer on disk:
$vcenterconnection = Connect-VIServer-Server vcenterserver
$vcenterconnection | Export-Clixml-path C:\TEMP\session.xml
I want to import the session exported to a new process of powershell that it connects faster to vcentern later:
$ImportedSession = import-Clixml-path C:\TEMP\session.xml
I can access all the properties of the imported object that before exporting it.
$NewConnection = Connect-VIServer-Session $ImportedSession - Server vcenterserver
It does not work:
SE connect-VIServer: 23.11.2015 14:11:17 SE connect-VIServer Unable to connect to the VI server: https://vcenterserver/SDK using session Id: "vcenterserver" On line: 1 char: 22
Is there a way to export a vCenter session on the disc to reuse it in a new process of powershell?
Thank you

For the parameter of the cmdlet Connect-ViServer Session you must pass a Guid.

Your current logon, you can retrieve this Guid

Global $: DefaultVIServer | Select - ExpandProperty SessionId

Note that when you want to reconnect, that these sessions have a time-out value.

They don't stay open forever (normally).

What is the minimum privileges that I return so he can make a Connect-VIServer and a Get - VM?

Hi all
I'm writing a small script to list all our virtual machines.
I want installation service account just for that and I want to give to these minimum permissions accounts: just enough to Connect-VIServer and a Get - VM.
Should what minimum privileges I give?
How could I have figured this out on my own?
Thanks in advance!

Connect-VIServer throws the invalid URI error in the Studio of Powershell, but is very well outdoors

I don't know if it's a problem of Powershell Studio 2014 or PowerCLI, but other people have reported the "invalid URI: the hostname could not be parsed" error, so I'll start here.
I have a PowerCLI 5.0.1 on Windows 7, Powershell v2.0 and Powershell Studio 2014.
In my script, when I run the Connect-VIServer-Server $server command, the command fails and generates the invalid URI error. However, when I run my script in the command window PowerCLI, the script works fine.
I guess I have a problem of environment in the Studio of Powershell, but wonder what circumstances causes PowerCLI to raise this error.
So far, I have not had much luck with Studio 2014 Powershell and PowerCLI, don't know if it's powershell v2.0 or something else.

It looks like a Studio of Powershell environment problem.

I have many ps1 files and use the point of supply to load the files ps1 in support which includes the call to connect-VIServer. When I put the connect-VIServer in the file main ps1 I can connect to my vCenter, but when I put in the origin file, I cannot connect, nor can fact the fitting of test-work order.

Thanks for the help.

Running PowerCLI connect VIServer & Get - VM as a single command

I'm trying to create a script that allows me to generate the results of the cmdlet 'get - vm | Get-snapshot | format-list' in a file

I use a piece of software that allows us to run scripts remotely via commands or PowerShell prompt

How can I create a single command line that would Connect-VIServer vCenterServerName order & the get - vm | get-snapshot | format-list?

I add variables via our software for the name of user and password & vmware server IP. These variables must be part of the command, for example:

SE connect-VIServer-Server @VMwareHostIP @ - protocol https - User @Username @ - Password @Password @.

Is there a way I could call the PowerCLI from the Windows command prompt?

You can try below to the command prompt

PowerShell "add-pssnapin vmware.vimautomation.core"; ' Connect-VIServer-Server @VMwareHostIP @ - protocol https - User @Username @ - Password @Password @; ' get - vm | Get-snapshot | format-list.

Separate each command with ';' and best practices is Quote unquote each order.
