Invoke VMScript and escape from the variables

Hello, VMTN,.

I have what is probably a simple question.  I have a set of functions that are passed to two variables; the name of a virtual computer and NIC to enable\disable in Windows in this VM.  The name of this NETWORK adapter has spaces, which is the Network Interface 4.  The service continues to set the command to inject as:

$cmd = "game of the name of the interface c:\windows\system32\netsh.exe interface =""$NICtoEnable" "admin = ENABLED"

It then calls the cmdlt invoke-vmscript as follows:

ScriptType bat - invoke-VMScript - VM $VMName GuestCredential - $GuestCredential - $cmd ScriptText

and it does not return the output, but I get "Invalid parameter" in return.  What that tells me, that is it runs netsh in the virtual machine, but on parameters is not set correctly.  I don't know that it is because I have not properly escaped the $NICtoEnable variable in $cmd of the GET passed to-ScriptText.  I also tried, instead of double quotes, using single quotes ('... ") does not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Best,

@dboftlp

Try your $cmd like this

$cmd = "c:\windows\system32\netsh.exe interface set interface name=" + '"' + $NICtoEnable + '"' + " admin=enabled"

The trick is to move the quotes around the name of the NIC, where single quotes around the double quotes.

    This laptop was reformated HARD drive and I decided to try Windows 7 (beta), which is currently installed and working well. I would like to install the original drivers and applications from the Toshiba recovery disc but I don't want to reinstal the operating system (XP). Is this possible?

    As far as I know that is not possible because applications from the recovery disk and drivers are for Windows XP and they are not compatible with Windows 7.
    In addition it of not possible to install the only special drivers or applications from the recovery disc.

    You can download all the drivers and tools on the site of Toshiba, but I doubt that it of compatible with Windows 7, but you can try it out and post your result here.

  • Why the continuous measurement and Logging in LabVIEW 2012 Project uses strings instead of Enums and orders from the queue?

    Hello!

    I noticed that the continuous measurement and a project in LabVIEW 2012 Logging using chains instead of enums and orders from the queue. I wonder if there is a good reason for it?

    Kind regards

    Anguel

    First, string vs enum debate is probably the version of LabVIEW vim vs emacs. There are good arguments on both sides, and I doubt that there is always a "winner".

    A brief summary of our reasoning for the current state of the project examples:

    1. We used enums for the state machine because it is self-contained. A state machine will never tell himself to enter a State, he does not know. Knowing (as the programmer) all possible States with the help of an enum allows you to enlist the compiler in order to help us avoid mistakes to change the time (because you can't quite out an enum and LabVIEW can be said if you are not covering all cases to a structure of the case, etc..).

      Enums provide greater protection and rigidity by ensuring all withdrew at the time of publishing. This is often the 'default' recommendation that we do.

    2. We used strings for messages in queue manager because the producer of message and the message handler could be independent processes that are reused or traded. Channels avoid the need for the compiler to be able to connect the orders and push this responsibility to the programmer. This allows you to develop some sub-components independently as long as you agree to a series of channel commands that you can manage - you need not to share a file 'messages.ctl' or 'states.ctl '. It is conceivable a loop of message management a message it does not, how you can decide to either silently ignore it or will trigger an error (as we do in the model). The strings make it also easier if you want to swap the queues of LabVIEW outside by a TCP implementation for network vacilitate or intra-Processuse communication where the other end may or may not be written in LabVIEW.

      Channels to provide more flexibility (that is, you can add new commands to an existing via plugins system, you can pass parameters as part of the string, etc.) at the expense of pushing her potential errors at run time and to put more responsibility on the programmer.

    3. The actor's gifts frame a 3rd option - using classes such as messages. For me, it combines many of the advantages of these two enumerations (strictly typed, change errors) and strings (flexible and scalable), but with the disadvantage of being somewhat less transparent (you understand OO, be comfortable to navigate through a multitude of screws, legacy of understanding, etc.).

    I don't know there are other reasons, others to the breast OR had or seen as we validated models and examples of projects in-house, but here are my reasons. We know that we can not design for each situation there - our goal is to get useful models against new users to make them aware of what well thought LabVIEW programs are similar to experienced users know their applications better and I hope they do not hesitate to change what we provide or create their own designs, when they feel it's necessary. (On a side note, please share what you come up with - a community of experts sharing models would be really useful to us all LabVIEW users).

    The source for an XMLListCollection is an XMLList. The XMLListCollection is
    a _view_ of the XMLList and has no existence apart from him. The XMLList
    its source is always an integral part of the original XML. Then, when you
    Add a node to the XMLList which is the source for your DataGrid, you also add
    it to 'something' in the original XML document. I think that you either need to make a
    copy of the knot or just look at filtering the XMLListCollection. Peter
    ENT it manages in this example by making a copy (ish)

  • invoke vmscript and batch file

    Hi guys

    I try to activate a windows vm using the command to invoke vmscript powercli

    cmd /c slmgr / ato works fine when I run a back order but when I call it via a script, then the script just hangs

    I also tried to put the command above in a batchfile locally on the system and just use call vmscript to run the batch file, but which hangs just as

    no idea what I'm missing?

    $test = "cmd /c slmgr/ato.

    Invoke VMScript - Scripttype beats - ScriptText $test VM - $vm - GuestUser - GuestPassword - administrator

    Can you try to force a non-GUI run, as

    cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs

    instead of just slmgr?

    With an array of objects of virtual machine using this same code seems to work without problems. These virtual machines are distributed over several hosts.

    My guess is that this has something to do with sequential to the same host, reaching a connection limit max, as well as the connection is not completed after a successful execution of the cmdlet. Has anyone seen this problem before?

    Against what version of vSphere are you running that?

    And are you using PowerCLI 5.0.1?

  • Import emails and contacts from the backed up .pst files

    I am setting up a new computer with thunderbird. I have a outlook on my old machine. I saved emails and contacts from outlook to a USB stick to transfer. I'm not finding where I can import .pst files into thunderbird. He is not one of the options available in the menu/import wizard.

    Dear Google/Thunderbird team! This is a very inadequate solution: there must be a way to secure all mails outside the Thunderbird! I set up my pc and I am not prepared to go the extra mile beside the work that requires a new configuration.

  • After the installation of 12.0, I get popups and migration from the lower left of my screen that will heal all the ads block settings.

    Whenever I visit a new Web site I can wait for one of my first 'clicks' to open a new window with something like a Quibids announcement or a site with audio asking me to take a survey vaguely regarding the site I'm. There is also an ad in the migration of the lower-left corner of my screen that no amount of effort will get rid of. It didn't happen until last week when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. My OS is Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. I connect with a hotspot from Verizon at home only. I scan all emails before downloading from the server PC of the population. I ran most of Windows and a couple of free virus programs did a full scan nothing helps. This problem does not exist when I navigate with Windows Explorer.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.
