• PowerCli Script to change the VM Options?

  Is it possible to use PowerCli to change the options for a virtual computer?  Specifically, I would like a PowerCli script to select control of boxes on a virtual machine under Options-> VMware Tools-> advanced settings until the VMware Tools are upgraded during the feeding cycle and the time is sync would be.

  Thank you

  Here's what we use if you want to pull from a text file.

  $vmConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools = New-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo
  #$vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "manual"
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle"

• 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.

  Take a look.

  Can write us "PowerCLI Script" to get the details of card RAID HP (Firmware & Driver)

  For example: native ESX command below shows desired output for me.

  But we needed equality PowerCLI ESX command below script

• I want to move virtual machines to a folder called Linux name, but we have several file of the same name in our Datacenter, please give me PowerCLI Script to move exactly

  I want to move virtual machines to a folder called Linux name, but we have several file of the same name in our Datacenter, please give me PowerCLI Script to move exactly.

  I tried to use for the function FolderByPath below, but don't know how to use it and have worked. Please help me in this.

  Function Get-FolderByPath {}

  < #.

  . Records of recovery SYNOPSIS by giving a path

  . DESCRIPTION the function will retrieve a record by its

  path. The path can contain any type of leave (folder or)

  Data Center).

  . Author NOTES: Luc relaxing

  . Path PARAMETER

  The path to the folder.

  This is a required parameter.

  . Path PARAMETER

  The path to the folder.

  This is a required parameter.

  . PARAMETER separator

  The character used to separate the leaves in the

  path. The default value is ' / '.

  . EXAMPLE OF

  PS > Get-FolderByPath-path ' Datacenter/Folder1/Folder2 ".

  . EXAMPLE OF

  PS > Get-FolderByPath-path "Folder1 > Folder2"-separator ' > '

  # >

  (param

  [CmdletBinding()]

  [parameter (Mandatory = $true)]

  [System.String []] ${Path}.

  [tank] ${delimiter} = ' / '.

  )

  {in process

  If (((Get-PowerCLIConfiguration).)) DefaultVIServerMode - eq "Multiple") {}

  $vcs = $defaultVIServers

  }

  else {}

  $vcs = $defaultVIServers [0]

  }

  {foreach ($vc to $vcs)

  {foreach ($strPath in $Path)

  $root = get-file-name of the server data $vc centers

  $strPath.Split ($Separator) | %{

  $root = get-inventory-name $_-location $root - server $vc - NoRecursion

  If ((Get-stocks-localisation $root-NoRecursion |)) Select--ExpandProperty name)-contains "vm") {}

  $root = get-inventory-name "vm" - location $root - server $vc - NoRecursion

  }

  }

  $root | where {$_-is [VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.FolderImpl]}|% {}}

  Get-file-name $_. Name - location $root. Parent - Server $vc

  }

  }

  }

  }

  }

  You can try to retrieve the object file by steps as well.

  Something like this for example

  $folder = get-data center-name 'LTX01-G8 | Get-file-name "LTX-servers | Get-file-name "LTX servers 0000 - 0299. Get-file-name Linux

  I guess the first qualification in your path was the data center.

• When I click on Define Custom Shape, I get an error message: "could not complete your request because of a program error."

  I use Photoshop CC 2014. When I click on Define Custom shape, there is an error box that says: "could not complete your request because of a program error."  How can I fix it or work around it? I have looked on the internet for answers, but could not find any solution to this. The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!

  Well, now it works. It was a particular path that generated the message. Other forms custom records.

• 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.

• The package PowerCLI script in the Windows executable file / install

  What are the options for packaging / embed PowerCLI script in Windows. EXE file? I would like for several departments to be able to run and collect information from the script without having direct access to the code. This would ensure that the code has been correctly run without modification.

  I know that PowerCLI will be available on these systems, searching for the PowerCLI is not necessary.

  I read that the Primal Script has this ability, but I want a solution that is free and easy to use, if possible.

  If it is not an executable file, maybe even a file coded which makes it difficult for a layman to make changes.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  I used a similar function of Johan Akerstrom in the past (since I don't have the community installed Extensions).

  See his post Powershell script to generate an executable from a powershell script .

  For this one, I know there is no problem with parameter passing.

  Take this example script

  param(
  [parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string[]]$server)
  
  [void][system.reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
  Add-PSSnapin -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core
  
  Connect-VIServer -Server $server[windows.forms.messagebox]::Show("Connected to " + $defaultViServer.Name)
  $VM = Get-VM[windows.forms.messagebox]::Show("I counted " + $VM.Count + " guests")
  
  Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
  

  Note that the script uses Windows Forms to the output data.

  You create the EXE file as follows. I recorded the example script under DoExeTest.ps1

  PS C:\Scripts >.\DoExeTest.ps1 new-PSExecutable
  Script source file: C:\Scripts\DoExeTest.ps1
  Output executable: C:\Scripts\doexetest.exe

  And when you run this, it displays 2 message boxes, one with the name of the vCenter and the other with the number of guests, the script is located in the vCenter.

  C:\Scripts>doexetest.exe 'Site '.

                

• PowerCLI Script to the report on the failed VM jobs

  I figured out how to report on the events of VM (get-vievent), but no has no stains of VM. If a snapshot of the virtual computer fails, sometimes it never connect the events of the VM, but lists an error on the display of tasks. We are trying to monitor the clichés failed since its part of our backup solution.

  I was looking for a way to report these tasks/failure of events in a daily report, or simply add to the daily report of amazing Alan Renouf that we use.

  does anyone have any suggestions? For an example, see the attached screenshots. See how, in the view tasks, you have mistakes, but in the view of events, there is no errors.

  Any help would be great. Thank you!

  Hi Jeff

  I had exactly the same need to identify stereotypes having failed and drilled until SDK and LucD suggestions (thank you) to encode the following lines:

  $vmlist = Get-VM |sort Name
  
  foreach ($guestname in $vmlist)
  {
      $hours = 48 # Number of hours back
        $tasknumber = 999          # Windowsize of the Task collector
  $taskMgr = Get-View TaskManager
  
  # Create hash table. Each entry is a create snapshot task
  $report = @{}
  
  $filter = New-Object VMware.Vim.TaskFilterSpec
  $filter.Time = New-Object VMware.Vim.TaskFilterSpecByTime
  $filter.Time.beginTime = (Get-Date).AddHours(-$hours)
  $filter.Time.timeType = "startedTime"
  
  $collectionImpl = Get-View ($taskMgr.CreateCollectorForTasks($filter))
  
  $dummy = $collectionImpl.RewindCollector
  $collection = $collectionImpl.ReadNextTasks($tasknumber)
  while($collection -ne $null){
  $collection | where {$_.DescriptionId -eq "VirtualMachine.createSnapshot" -and $_.EntityName -eq $guestName} | %{
  if ($_.State -eq "Error") {
          write-host $_.EntityName
          write-host $_.StartTime
          write-host $_.State
          }
      else {
      }
  }
  $collection = $collectionImpl.ReadNextTasks($tasknumber)
  }
  $collectionImpl.DestroyCollector()
  
   }  
  

  This script displays the name of the virtual machines which met with an instant failure in the last 48 hours (a variable, you can change)

  This is just the beginning, because I want to count the shots failed and identify virtual computers that have more than 2 in 2 days

  Feel free to alter it at will.

  Enjoy

• How to start a PowerCLI Script automatically

  I'm looking for a way to automate a PowerCLI script start.  For example, starting with the most basic scripts such as:

  Get-VM-name MyVM

  I want to have a file that I can click on my desktop that starts PowerCLI, running connect-VIServer and connects to my server, gives the appropriate credentials to connect, then running my

  Get-VM-name MyVM

  script.  It could be a batch (.bat) windows file that would start with powershell and run a .ps1 file, in the process of passing all the arguments appropriate for authentication, etc. or another strategy.

  Take a look at this article.  Step 3 review the batch file to create and your authentication options.

• How can I use a custom tool easy to machine the same LabVIEW is the basis on average DC - RMS VI

  I use a cRio 9024 and read PWM with an analog input card 9205.  It was suggested that I use the basis on average DC - RMS VI to convert the voltage of the PWM signal into an analog signal (effective value) for use in my system.  The problem is that the 9024 can use LabVIEW models (it's VxWorks). I work through the device a custom tool easy and I wonder if someone can guide me in the right direction.

  I am running Veristand 2014, cRio-9024, 6modules, and run the scan engine.  It seems that's the reason why I can't read analog voltage (starting a PWM signal) since the signal is running at 200 Hz and the Scan Engine runs at 500 Hz.   I tried to avoid making a custom device or an FPGA and found a work around using the 9401 in counter mode.  I can get the numbers that I need, that's how I'm heading at the moment.  I would like to custom device approach, but not this sprint.

• Cannot find custom tool MxbCodeGenerator after VS2005-&gt; conversion of 2008

  I'm limping into c# and recently converted a c# VS2005 project with Measurement Studio 2009 to VS2008 the wizard of conversion VS.  Since then the VS2008 project has been building and running great, until today when I tried to change my VisaTask1.mxb Assistant.  When I did, I got a warning on the build in saying:

  "Cannot find the custom tool 'NationalInstruments.MeasurementStudio.Tools.DotNET.MxbCodeGenerator' on this system."

  I am sure that the MxbCodeGenerator must be on the system somewhere.  In my project, I have work references to NI.Common, OR. UI, OR. USER INTERFACE. WindowsForms and NOR. World.  Someone know how I can find this MxbCodeGenerator tool again?  Without him my VisaTask1.cs code generated automatically cannot be updated.

  Thank you

  Frederic,

  It worked!  Thank you very much.  I just added the "." 2008"as you suggested and now my VisaTask1.cs is updating again.

• Disable / lockdown 'create a custom tool '.

  Im doing a custom install via the "Adobe Customization Wizard DC", the deactivation of all sorts of things.

  All set up in the work of the wizard, except turning off the tool 'create custom tool '.

  I checked the box for the 'create custom tool' off, and after installation it also added the registry key. See

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\2015\FeatureLockDown\cAcroApp\cDisabled]

  "a0" = "CertificatesApp."

  'a1' = 'CustomUIApp. '

  "a2" = "SendAppFull."

  But when I opened Acrobat after installation (and reboot) its always showing and usable.

  Is there something else that needs to be done to disable this tool?

  Well I just found the answer... The customization tool adds the incorrect registry value.

  The Customization Wizard adds the value "CustomUIApp". It should be "CreateCustomUIApp".

  Found the answer here, where theres a value name list of all applications of theire register:
