Install powershell module on computers invited to take snapshots.

I would like to install the module powercli on some of our guest computer running windows 2003 and 2008r2.  Run a script to take a snapshot before install us the microsoft via SCCM updates.  I was not able to find the module. I found examples of scripts.  Run us VMware ESXi 5.1.0 in a cluster.  Our VMware administrator is not familiar with the power of CLI and as you may have guessed I'm not a VMware administrator.  I belong to Netapp and also make the Microsoft updates on our servers.  I'd appreciate any help.  I want to try and keep it as simple as possible because it is a path to auto update servers.  I'd also be interested in thoughts runs the scripts from a point central would be a better solution.

Thank you

You can download the latest version PowerCLI package here: https://developercenter.vmware.com/web/dp/sdk/55/vsphere-powercli

(PowerCLI 5.5 supports both versions 5.1 and earlier versions)

You need not install anything in the GuestOS themselves unless you want to trigger the operation of snapshot within each GuestOS (which seems cumbersome).

Install PowerCLI on your workstation or a central management server to run scripts, you point the scripts to execute on the vCenter server that manages your infrastructure. You also need the respective permissions on the side of vCenter to access the VM inventory, manage snapshots etc.

Just a tip: be sure to not overuse clichés too and clean in a timely way thereafter.

  • Impossible to install the modules that are hosted outside of AMO

    I can't install any add-on that is hosted outside of AMO, in Firefox for Android 40.0.3, nor in Firefox Beta for Android 41.

    What I think should happen: I have download the file as signed (it records to SD card), then open it with Firefox and Firefox should ask me if I want to install this module.

    What is really happening: an add-on is downloaded, but when I open it is file as with Firefox - nothing happens. Firefox comes to shows me a blank screen (see the screenshot).

    My friend has this problem too.

    Looks like a regression bug (because I could install add-ons hosted out of AMO without any problems in previous versions), but I'm not entirely sure.

    So my question is: should I file a bug on Bugzilla or is it possible to install the modules hosted outside of AMO to Firefox for Android and it's just me something wrong?

    My phone has Android v2.3.5.

    UPDATE: apparently, I can not install the modules of local files, but can do some some sites. My module (I have problem with) is hosted on Github, and I can't install it for whatever reason.

    Update 2: it seems that modules can be installed from Github if she is not just a file (because Github changed Content-Disposition of at least some types of raw file of 'inline' to 'attachment'), but a binary attachment to a "news release".

    Apparently, I found a work around for this problem, so that this issue does not require a response more.

    Hello

    Please check if a green icon is added to the left of the icon in the Web site address bar after clicking on Add to Firefox. If it appears, click it, check the message and select the desired action.

    Another reason could be that the extension could block Javascript or other features of the site.

  • Portege Z930 cannot start with installed RAM module

    My laptop Toshiba Portege Z930-108 has stopped booting with any module of RAM installed in the support.

    If I remove RAM module, laptop computer starts and works fine, but if I install any module of RAM (4 GB 1600 original or a new 4 1600 CL9 or 1600 8 CL11) the computer cannot start.

    The screen stays black and power led flashing two green and two orange and a few seconds later, 3G indicator also on blue.

    This is the only problem I have with this computer, but it's strange.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest version and the problem is not resolved.

    I tried to reset the hardware (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3B03J90000R01.htm), also I tried to reset the equipment with power button 30 seconds without battery but button without success.

    Any idea on this problem of strage?

    Kind regards
    Lito.

    I guess you used bad RAM or not fully compatible modules.
    It's the only plausible explanation.

    I recommend you to order the RAM modules recommended by Toshiba that are:

    4 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M4G

    2 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M2G

  • Can not install "Common Modules" on my Portege 2000

    I'm trying to install "V.6.01.00 of Toshiba common Modules" on my 2000 Portege XP Proffesional with SP2, but "ACPI namespace cannot! "GNS.exe end." error 5 times before the laptop then show me button and when I press "it is not and ACPI system" it is not possible to install the toshiba ACPI device ' error is displayed and close the application "V.6.01.00 of Toshiba of common Modules.

    I don't have Recovery CD from the laptop, so I install and standard Windows XP Pro with SP2 and install the drivers that I download from Web of Toshiba without problem, except a Standard floppy that I forget not all drivers and if I diasble usb floppy emulation does not disappear.

    I read a lot of information in the forum, but I don't know what the problem is, I know only that the functions keys and request many Toshiba are not working because I can not install "common modules".

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that service pack 2 pre-installed XP could be the reason for this problem.
    On the Toshiba page, you will find an updated Microsoft Windows XP SP2 information! Read the entire document.
    Seems that you must update some applications if you want to run the operating system correctly!

    The EHCI controller must be updated and many others! Check it!

    Please don t forget to install display drivers! To my knowledge, it also includes the chipset driver.

  • Satellite A210 - cannot install common module and driver display

    Just down to XP, downloaded drivers from toshiba and the installation was completed with an error not saying no driver found for my hardware. That's happened with the common Module and ATI Display Driver.

    I mean, I need em both!

    Help!

    Hello

    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and it seems that XP drivers have not been to this A210 series!

    I think that you just tired to install common Modules is not supported on this laptop.
    That is one reason why you can not install it.

    With regard to the display driver.
    Try to install the drivers for the laptop models:
    PSAEJE satellite A210
    Equium A300D PSAK2E
    Equium L350D PSLE2E
    Satellite P200 PSPBLE
    Satellite L350D PSLE0E
    Satrellite L300D PSLC0E

    In my opinion, one of the pilots freed from these series should run.

  • Satellite M30: cannot install common Modules after upgrade OS

    Hello world

    I changed my Win XP OS to Win XP Pro. Now I try to install common Modules, but when I try to run it, the installation is visible in Windows Task Manager, but nothing happens. You have an idea to help me?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First be sure that you install all the things in the order of good facilities. This means that the common Modules must be installed before you start the installation of any other tool of Toshiba or utility.

    Common modules can be installed like any other application following facilities Assistant.

    Unfortunately I can't tell you anything because I know what facilities order you used.

    Try to explain exactly how make you OS installation and configuration of the OS. Check also delivered the Tools & Utilities CD. I'm not sure at 100%, but perhaps here you can find the document html with the exact order of installations.
