List of connections of Console Active with PowerCLI

Does anyone know of a way to check the number of connections to the active console to a virtual machine using PowerCLI?  I know that it is possible for the list connection events that have taken place in the past, but is it possible to check the current status of connections?  I wrote a Powershell script to launch a console connection to a virtual machine remotely but would if ensure that there is no active connection already open on the selected virtual machine.  I already put the value of RemoteDisplay.MaxConnections = 1 in the VMX files to limit active connections to one.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello-

I don't know, a list with information about active connections, but there is at least one property that keeps the _count_ of active connections.  The property 'Runtime.NumMksConnections' of the View of a VM object .net held this indictment:

PS C:\> Get-VM myVM | Get-View -Property Name,Runtime.NumMksConnections | select Name,@{n="NumConn"; e={$_.Runtime.NumMksConnections}}
Name       NumConn
----       -------
myVM       1

So, you can check out this charge, pmassey, and if it is '-eq 0 ", then launch the connection...

  • Need command to list connections WiFi currently active

    I have an active 800 series with WiFi SOHO router. I'm having a hard time coming up with a simple command that will produce a list of WiFi connections current/active to the end user of a given network SSID.

    Could someone help me with a quick one-liner?

    As far as I know that there is no single command that displays this information. Use Mac addresses to list show dot11 Association. For the use of Qos see map class.

  • Export all the objects with PowerCli

    Hello

    I'm not in VSphere or vmware but a Director of SCOM and I am currently working on a solution to monitor our VCenter with SCOM server. To be able to automatically resolve alerts, I would need to find a way to export a list with all the objects of the VCenter server to create them as instances in SCOM and map the error directly state events to these objects.

    I think that this should be possible with PowerCli so the plan was to have a script export this list frequently and run a discovery of the SCOM Agent Script to automatically create related instances. Does anyone know how this export could be made with PowerCli? Since I'm not in vmware / vsphere and we don't have a test environment, but only the Production System in our office, I am somewhat limited in trying just by the cmdlets to discover this.

    No matter what pointer in the right direction which cmdlets can achieve this is as welcome as script ideas that could help me out here.

    Thanks and greetings

    Marco

    OK, I see.

    When you want to display a map, it is better to load the objects requested in advance and update them regularly.

    Have you ever thought about what you want to see on the map?

    A hierarchy of the sample could be

    vCenter(s)                                     <- in $defaultVIServer after a Connect-VICenter
      datacenter(s)                              <- Get-Datacenter -Server 
       cluster(s)                                   <- Get-Cluster -Server 
          resource pool(s)                     <- Get-Resourcepool -Location (Get-Cluster )
             guest(s)                               <- Get-VM -Location (Get-Resourcepool )
          vmhost(s)                               <- Get-VmHost -Location (Get-Cluster 
             datastores                           <- Get-Datastore -Location (Get-VMHost )
             network
                vswitches                         <- Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost (Get-VMHost )
                    portgroup(s)                 <- Get-VirtualPortgroup -VMHost (Get-VMHost )

  • Sharing activity with Apple Watch problem

    I added a friend to my shared items Apple Watch and went through all the stages of acceptance.

    However on my Apple Watch I can't see the results of my friend, but on my iPhone, I can see mine and theirs.

    On my friends iPhone and Apple Watch, they can see my results of activity, but all mine read as zero.

    Hi slithytove,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you have added a friend on your Apple Watch to share activities. On your Apple Watch you don't see the results of your friend, but you can see the you and the results of your friends on your iPhone. They see your activity on their iPhone as zero.

    I just started using this feature myself. Watch OS 3 is really cool in how it allows you to share your activity with friends and family rings. I'm happy to help you with this problem.

    Please ensure that all iPhones who share the activity are connected to the Internet and signed in iCloud. Use article share your activity with your Apple Watch, more specifically, this section:

    Get help with sharing activity

    Activity sharing requires iOS 10 and watch OS 3. If more than one Apple Watch associated with your iPhone, the sharing tab appear not in the activity until you update all your watches to watch OS 3.

    If you are unable to add a friend, make sure you have a Apple Watch and that you have not added the maximum number of friends. You can add up to 25 friends.

    If your iPhone can connect to the Internet and you are connected to iCloud, you can get the updates relating to the activities of your friends every day. If your iPhone can not connect for several days, or you disconnect from iCloud, you may see missing days.

    Additional information can be found in the Apple Watch user's Guide

    Have a great day!
