• 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!

• 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!

• Running a script powershell in a workflow

  Hi all

  Everyone was able to integrate a simle powershell script from a workflow job. Try to get a custom powershell script to be run from a workflow. There are a few specific elements of application checks the script. I hope that I can plan this workflow at a time affecting the operation.

  Has anyone seen any documentation on the development of workflows.

  Thanks advance.

• Cannot run the script generated with export Clip.

  I use AE CS6 and FCPX 10.0.7. I have imported the images in this way successfully before and have not changed or updated either of these programs since. Exporter of clip is up to date.

  Today, I created an XML of my calendar and trying to run the script generated from it, I get the error 'cannot run the script on line 22. WHEREAS"}

  I opened to the top of the script and 22 bed line editor ' comp [0] = {name: "Scenes of Kyle", w: 1920, h:1080, pasp:1.0000, hard: 39.7063, fps:23.9760, departure: 0.00001};

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The default is here:

  name: "Scenes of Kyle.

  For a shell script that reads as

  Kyle, scenes of s

  or be interpreted as noise and move the successive data so it would be interpreted wrongly. This is simply sloppy programming. It will have to be properly "escaped" to avoid the error:

  "Scenes of Kyle\".

  Contact the creator to fix his script and for the time being to use folder names that go without apostrophes...

• 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

• PowerShell script to get allocated funds and the memory used

  I'm trying to run a script powershell against a VC.  The purpose of the script is to get a table which shows the name, powerstate, allocated RAM, RAM, VC and VCL for each virtual computer.  What is the command to get the ram used?

  So, I started with:

  Connect-VIServer-server-name username-password password

  Get - VM | Select Name, Description, PowerState, MemoryGB | Export-csv-path "C:\VMInventory\Memory.csv" - NoTypeInformation

  Try this:

  Get - VM | Select Name, Description, PowerState, MemoryGB, @{n = "HostMemoryUsage"; e = {$_.}} ExtensionData.Summary.QuickStats.HostMemoryUsage}}

  Which should return the same value as the 'consumed host memory"displayed in the client vSphere (in MB).

• 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 '"

• Planning and running my script powershell crashed Windows 7

  Hi all

  I created a powershell script that works perfectly when I run it using powershell. Just, it reads XML files and email some information on their part. But as soon as I have this schedule using the Windows Task Scheduler and run it, it blocks the windows. First of all, trying to open the Task Scheduler, after planning script, it give error, the Task Scheduler service is not available. Then I rebooted my system, and windows starts in recovery mode. I even tried windows recovery to a point recorded earlier, but also, that did not help. My BUSINESS team had to redeploy full Windows 7 on my system. I already tried this on two different systems, both with Windows 7 Professional and it crashes in the same way.

  Please help me understand what I am doing wrong.

  I don't know how to download my forum script, please let me know if any of you wish to have a look, and I'll send my code.

  Thank you

• 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.

• a way to run a powershell script?

  Y at - it another way to configure a script to be able to run by either double clicking on it or other means other than having opened powercli and goes the script and it works.

  It is not the best way to do it, but to help people not use powercli it will help running. The script that I know is very well to run... we are running win2k8 if it matters

  You can create a shortcut and under properties make it a race of PowerShell.exe.

  You pass as an argument to the PowerShell script runs.

  In the script, you ensure that the pssnapin PowerCLI is loaded.

  For example, the target of the shortcut can be

  %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe-fichier 'MyScript.ps1.

  You add in MyScript.ps1

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  before that the script uses a PowerCLI cmdlet.

• 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.
