How to run scripts powershell to Orchestrator

Hello

is it possible to run powershell Orchestrator-workflow scripts?

I got it only work with a powershell ssh server on another system (http://www.powershellinside.com/powershell/ssh/)

and Executive a ssh command inside the workflow.

Kind regards

Joerg

This can be done in the 4.0 update release 2 (which was released on June 10, 2010).

To do this, you will first need to modify the configuration of server vCO since issuing an operating system command is prohibited by default for security reasons.  Please keep in mind that everything you do here are run with the credentials of the user running the process of vCO (default localSystem).

1. the file to edit is vmo.properties under the application-server/server/vmo/conf directory.

Add a line to the bottom

com VMware.js.allow - local-process = true

and save the config file.

The details of how to proceed is in the guide of the administrator under "Definition of system properties"-> "JavaScript access to the operating system commands Set.

2. create a new workflow and paste the following line in a box "that contains a script task.

command = new command ("cmd /c copy c:
Orchestrator
c: test.txt
Orchestrator
test1.txt');

command = new command ("powershell.exe - order copy c:")
Orchestrator
c: test.txt
Orchestrator
test2.txt");

Command.Execute (true);

3. Optional: If you want to have access to another part of the file system, please take a look at the "Set Server file system Access to the Workflows and JavaScript" section in the Administrator's Guide. The configuration file referenced in the guide is not there by default, so you have to create it.

Please keep in mind that which allows commands to be run on a server with a workflow has some security implications.  Running PowerShell this way also means that:

-you are limited to running the PowerShell script without the ability to interact with your script to halfway through the script

-You can build the string to start the PowerShell script (like providing a virtual machine with VM.name), but the output of the PowerShell script would have to write to a file that you can then open and read with another stream of work (or action).

I hope this helps.

  • How to run a Powershell script via a batch file

    I'm new on using Powershell and I have a fundamental question regarding running a powershell script. Basically, I wrote a file of commands as shown below.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" - NoExit-command "C:\MyScripts\RunSpanshot.ps1".

  • problem running script powershell bigbrother

    Hello!

    I'm trying to run a powershell script of big brother

    but nothing works...

    I added the script .ps1 to the external list restartted the client, without going

    I made a batch file to run the script and added to the external list and not go also.

    When I run either manually the script works... and my output file is written to the c:\BB\ext dir.

    is there a way to get this race?

    also when I run manually my file is picked up by the customer, but do not see the column appear on the web page.

    Note that there are other external systems running and those working OK. (one is a vbcripts and one is a .exe)

    I opened it and content

    The file is encoded in unicode. BB is not like that. Download the script to write to a text file of pain.

  • How to run multiple Powershell scripts in PowerCLI

    I have a large number of scripts that I would run into lots of PowerCLI. I found a way to call some Powershell scripts from a file of commands like the following (with the permission of Jan Egil Ring), which works very well except for scripts PowerCLI where a connection to a VC or ESX Server must be established before the script can be executed:

    PowerShell-command '& C:\MyScripts\script1.ps1 '.

    PowerShell-command '& C:\MyScripts\script2.ps1 '.

    PowerShell-command '& C:\MyScripts\script3.ps1 '.

    If a VC connection is on using Connect-VIServer PowerCLI, then scripts can each be run from the prompt without connection information and credentials, however, if scripts are placed in a file of DOS commands, it is necessary to place an order Connect-VIServer in each script, which will prompt you for credentials every time , so if I have 10 scripts, I will have to enter the credentials of 10 times. Is it possible to establish the connection and then run a set of Powershell scripts, or is there a way to integrate the identification information in the script so that it will connect to the VI server without asking confirmation?

    Thank you

    Ed Z

    2 options 1 persist credentials on disk, you can find the code on poshcode.org to do.

    Option 2 is to use - Session when using Connect-VIServer. The session is stored in the variable $defaultVIServer. If write you it to a file you can load this file and re-use this same session, assuming that it is still valid (i.e. it has not expired.)

  • How to run scripts unix through rules?

    Hi all

    The scenario is there are rules and when the rule is executed because of a condition of a unix script file to run.

    What is the right way to configure the rule for running a unix script file? We tried the "action command" option in the tab 'action' "conditions, alarms and action", but its does not work.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi basil,.

    The correct way to set up a rule to run a script file must use the RemoteCommandAction.

    Help:

    Remote control actions. They cause an external action be executed on a monitored host. Different parameters can be set for this action, including the required parameter COMMAND_LINE.

  • How do I powershell environment of default configuration that I can run scripts which the cmdlet Vsphere?

    I am a newbie for two worlds VSphere and Powershell.

    My requirement is to call a script that uses the Vsphere using default windows powershell cmdlet.

    What are the settings I must perform on Windows powershell so that I can run scripts that uses the VSphere cmdlet?

    You can as LucD said or you can even add this line @ the beginning of your script to make sure that the plugin is added whenever the script runs.

    Benefits of the approach of LucD profile, will it work on this one machine.  drawback is a little less portable.

    Backwards add it to the script will load the plug-in each time regardless of the profile.  downside, repetitive.

  • 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

  • How to run multiple parallel sql scripts?

    I try to execute multiple sql scripts parallel to the short run of the process via sqlplus. Are there opportunities to do? LINUX ORACLE 5. XX

    I do it too via Scheduler, but now I need to do this via sqlplus or shell + sqlplus?

    How do I start using shell script several xterminals and ech session begins all the sql scripts?

    nohup./SQL1.sh &

    nohup./sql2.sh &

    nohup./SQL3.sh &

    The '&' causes the script1.sh to run in the background so that the command prompt is returned immediately.  This means that sql2.sh can start immediately and at the same time as sql1.sh.  It doesn't have to wait for sql1.sh.   This assumes that there are no dependencies between scripts!  This meets your need to run scripts in parallel.

    The nohup untie your shell script.  So, even if you disconnect, the script continues to run.  Without the nohup, if you were to close your session before the end of the scripts running, they would get fired.
