PowerCli mass command to disable a specific NIC on the VMS 2000 +?

Hello.

Small question

We are running

ESXi version 5.5U3 and Vsphere 5.5

We have 2000 + VM with a specific network card called VLANXXX (normal vswitch - undistributed)

It has been used for our former backup system which was IP based and is now is no longer necessary that we went to a snapshot based backup system.

I have an excerpt from a list of all virtual machines with this this adapter in a CSV / text format

for example

Server1

Server2

Server3

is it possible to generate scripts an order essentially watch the folder and then go ahead and 'Disconnect a nic VLANXXX' (both on the power and the current connected state)?

Once its been disconnected and left it that way for a week. the plan must then run another script to delete this completely on each virtual machine NIC.

I had a search around but was unable to find anything which could do this

Any suggestion would be great.

You can try something like this

$pgName = "VLANxx".

$vms = get-VM-name (Import-Csv names.csv - UseCulture)

Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $vms | where {$_.NetworkName - eq $pgName} |

Set-NetworkAdapter-connected: $false - StartConnected: $false - confirm: $false

  • BIOS WMI question - how to disable a specific device in the boot list?

    Hello

    I have question for WMI, how to disable a specific device in the boot list? I found "BootODD" "BootFDD" etc. in the documentation, but I have no idea how to use. And here my question.

    Documentation:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB3803HR0000R01_TOSHIBA_BIOS_WMI_Interface_Guide_-_13_Rev_1.1.PDF

    Do you know that pdf is a guide for authors of vb script?
    I don't think running a script against the BIOS is a good way to learn.

    In any case, here is a link to download Microsoft Scriptomatic which is a very good place to learn [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12028]

  • Open a PDF file to a specific page of the command line

    I want to open a PDF stored locally to a specific page of the command line. I've seen examples of access files based on the web using http and the #page = parameter, but it doesn't seem to work for a file stored on my local disk.  I want to be able to use VBA in MS Access to control the opening page.

    Hi cfwoodbury,

    When you open a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass parameters to the command to open the switch /A with the following syntax:

    /A "=" ""

  • Double NIC on the host, double network, how to connect to a specific card?

    First of all, I'm not looking for that, and nothing seemed to answer the questions that I have. I just started to work with VMWare workstation. I migrated from VirtualPC2007 with XPMode after that caused a few updated my system to become unusable with the VPC software installed. I have abandonded VPC to VMWare and it works MUCH better. With one exception: for the life of me I can't understand how to tie a VMnet specific to a specific card on the host computer. I'm runing Workstation 8.0.2 build 591240 with a Windows 7 VM. The host is running Windows 7 and has 2 network cards. A home via a cable to a programming for PLC system and the other wireless to the outside world. I get an error to ask a software update and it needs access to the internet for this update. It is very good and I will be happy to death once it happens, BUT I can't understand how to tie the individual network adapters in the virtual machine for individual netwrok adapters on the host computer. The file 'aid' is far from useful, and all discussion threads seem to be WAY over my head at the moment.

    VM:

    VMWare Capture 1.PNG

    Host:

    NIC Capture 1.png

    How excactly do not connect adapter network card wireless network on the host so my software update VM 2 will be a direct connection it needs? I don't know how to say what is attached to that, except that nothing communicates with the outside world.

    Thanks in advance.

    It's in the "Virtual Network Editor". This application can be launched from the windows 'Programs'-> 'VMware' menu or the menu 'Edition' of VMware Workstation.

  • Read specific file to the virtual machine

    Hello

    So on to something else. I have most of my script but I don't know how to do something.

    Scenario: I have 300 windows vms. I would like to update their field notes of relevant information.

    update the field notes for all is the easy part via powercli, where I'm not sure this is how I update with specific data that are specfic vm. So in theory, I have 300 unique text files with relevant information for each virtual computer, call the master lists.

    So I was wondering if I can read in a specific variable to the VM updated accordingly?

    never said I was good to this script

    $vms = "windows01"windows02"", windows03;


    ForEach ($vmname to $vms)
    {

    $vm = get-VM-name $vmname;
    $notes = "" whoooo: me ' n whatttt: idontknow'n whereeeee: hereee'n whyyyy:becauseeee '; "
    Set-VM - VM $vm - $notes Description.  -Confirm: $false;
    }

    As you can see my vm will get... the same notes entry that is not cool. So I was wondering can I point each virtual machine to a specific vm file:

    E:\temp\windows01 for example?

    Thank you!!!

    Hi drivera

    create a text file like this

    vmname, notes
    VM1, "something something"
    VM2, "something else"
    VM3, 'really nice something'

    Save this content in a file, the name is: c:\mydata.csv

    then

    $csvdata = import-csv c:\mydata.csv

    then

    ForEach ($vm to $csvdata)
    {
    $notes = $vm.notes

    $vm = $vm.vmname

    Set-VM - $vm - Description $notes VM - confirm: $false
    }

    If you really want to do it this way

    "

    As you can see my vm will get... the same notes entry that is not cool. So I was wondering can I point each virtual machine to a specific vm file:

    E:\temp\windows01 for example?

    "

    Let me know, I think that having all the notes for VMS in 1 csv file is much better, easier

  • My family in Windows XP system restore is disabled by group policy. The system cannot me to enalbe this function, despite I have a partition of my hard drive to store all backup

    When I open the System Properties dialog box, System Restore is checked, saying: she is disabled by group policy, and the system you cannot activate this option. I got a partition dedicated to my justo of hard disk to store backups and create Points of restoration with a capacity of 10 GB. How can I solve this problem?

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the Task Manager, the registry, System Restore and command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    Thank you!

    Hi Anna K.

    When you encounter a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) in Windows, the computer saves information about the error message in a log file. This log file or minidump file is saved in the subdirectory of Windows Minidump (C:\Windows\MiniDump). Generally the information stored in the minidump file can help identify the cause of the blue screen error message and help you solve the problem.

    For more information on the reading of the memory dump files, see the following article:

    How read partial memory dump files that Windows creates for debugging

    See also:

  • Disable tap-to-click on the touchpad for coming 11 Pro and Mobile keyboard?

    Is it possible to disable tap to click on the laptop with the V11Pro keyboard?

    It looks like there is not no custom drivers for the touchpad. It would be nice, because the keyboard is so small that I keep key fat-palming.

    Thank you.

    Oddly it's under settings of the mouse and keypad touch-> 'Touchpad Delay' - simply on "Turn Off Taps" and it completely useless and annoying 'feature' bother you no more! Honestly - manufacturers test never actually such things? That devil wants a touchpad that clicks every time that they put the finger on it to move the mouse, when this touchpad has a press-more difficult-to-click function perfectly well?

  • Allow specific access through the Interfaces ASA 5510

    Hi all

    In my quest to learn Cisco IOS and devices, I need help in smoothing traffic, or access lists, allowing traffic between internal interfaces on the SAA specifically.

    I have an ASA 5510:

    WAN/LAN/DMZ ports labled E0/0 (LAN), E0/1 (WAN), E0/2 (DMZ).

    Connected to the port E0/0 is a 2811 router

    Connected to the port E0/1 is the (external) Internet

    Connected to the port E0/2 is a 2821

    (I'll add a 3745 for VOIP) port E0/3, but it has not yet happened.

    I want to allow traffic between the 2821 and the 2811 routers so that devices on the networks behind them can talk to each other.

    I've specified specific subnets between the ASA and the routers because I want to learn how to shape traffic behind routers, as well as on the ASA. So behind the routers I have different VLANS, but I'm not restrict access between them, still, at least I don't think I am. But as it is, behind the 2821 devices cannot access the DNS / DOMAIN SERVER that is located behind the 2811. Right now I have the routers DHCP power, who works there. Currently devices behind the router 2821-3560 switch cannot access the domain server, primary dns server.

    How can I set the ASA to allow traffic to flow between the two routers and their VLANS?

    Here's the configs of each device and I have also included my switch configs, incase something should be set on them. I only removed the passwords and the parts of the external IP address. I appreciate the help in which States to create and on which devices.

    I think it is best that I put the links to the files of text here.

    Thank you!

    You must remove the following statements on the two routers:
    -# ip nat inside source... overload
    -for each # ip nat inside/outside interface, if they have configured.

    Remove ads rip of the networks that are not directly connected:
    -2821: 172.16.0.0, 192.168.1.0, 199.195.xxx.0
    -2811: 199.195.xxx.0
    -ASA: 128.0.0.0

    No way should be added to the routers, since he is the one by default, put in scene to ASA.

    Check the tables of routing on routers and the ASA.

    On ASA:

    -Remove:
    object-group network # PAT - SOURCE
    # nat (indoor, outdoor) automatic interface after PAT-SOURCE dynamic source

    -create objects of the networks behind the LAN router and enable dynamic NAT:
    network object #.
    subnet
    NAT (inside, outside) dynamic interface

    -review remains NAT rules.

    -to set/adjust the lists access penetration on the interfaces. Do not forget to allow the rip on the LAN and DMZ interfaces.

    -Disable rip on the outside interface.

  • How to install a specific version of the CC?

    Hello

    We spent the past year preparing our flash content for mobile by using the command 'convert to HTML5 Canvas of AS3 document formats", which is only available in Flash CC, not the ordinary Creative Suite Flash (or whatever it's called). In version 14.2, the default behavior of this script has been changed so that it exports is no longer one of our audio in the library. Fortunately, someone at our office has not updated, so now they are the only person who can export mobile content.

    Is there a way to stick to a specific version of the CC, or will continue to be a problem for us?

  • DR-IP-Customizer customization specification fails on the stimulus Plan

    I have problems with the customization-ip-dr tool provided with MRS. The use of SRM 4.0 and vCenter Server 4.0, the command generate generates enough empty a CSV file with only shadow vm names, vm and a 0 card ID by vm, while each VM has really several adapters and complex information that needs to be filled in the rest of the table.

    VM ID, VM name, ID card, MAC address, domain DNS, Net BIOS, WINS primary, secondary WINS, IP address, subnet, Gateway (s), or the servers DNS, DNS suffixes mask

    shadow-vm-1111, vm-1111, 0,

    shadow-vm-3333, vm-3333, 0,

    shadow-vm-4444, vm-4444, 0,

    I then fill the table and run the command create/recreate, that succeedes in creating the specifications of customization, but stimulus package always runs and fails. My populated csv looks more like:

    VM ID, VM name, ID card, MAC address, domain DNS, Net BIOS, WINS primary, secondary WINS, IP address, subnet, Gateway (s), or the servers DNS, DNS suffixes mask

    ..... (continues for all virtual machines of 4 shadow)

    Execution fails on step 5. "Recover Normal priority VMs..." with the error: cannot complete customization.

    I'm not running a test of a race, but am running of the race, because I use SRDF adapter EMC who needs additional licenses / installs the plugin of the VSI and TimeFinder devices to perform the test.

    So is there something wrong with my formatting or information? The tool should not generate spit a fuller csv? I have never seen an example with multiple cards, it doesn't?

    Thank you!

    And if you perform a new analysis of the host bus adapters, VMs receive no State orphand or inaccessible?

  • Adding clip at a specific time on the timeline

    This seems to be a very simple task, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to understand this.

    When you put the clips in the timeline, imovie, they automatically move at the end of the previous element, all the way to the left of the timeline. Is it possible that you can move a clip at a specific point in the timeline, say, 01:30, but a gap of no content between 0 and 01:30? I have an audio track at the moment and I try to sync the audio clips, but I take pieces out one at a time and don't want any film from start to finish crafts. There MUST be a way to put videos where I want, at the top of the audio without having to move and attach it to the previous item. I want to just place them where I want to, at some point, and they have to stay there.

    I updated my software and iMovie version (I'm on a macbook pro).

    No, you can only leave spaces between clips in the main FCP timeline.  However if you put a (probably black) background in the iMovie timeline and extend to the duration of the video, then you can put top clips whenever you like and it will display when you play the movie (picture in picture).

  • When I activate a plugin in Firefox 4 disable Word appears next to the name of software plugin. How can I stop this from happening?

    I use Win 7 and just upgraded to Firefox 4. In my plugin section, when I activate a program, the word disabled immediately appears next to the program name. This happens to every program plugin I have.
    So, when I use Firefox and the need for a plugin is necessary, I received a message telling me that this program is disabled even if the word activate will still appear on the plugin line. I never had this problem in one of the Firefox 3 browsers. How can I fix this problem?

    It could be that the plugin you are trying activate is not compatible with Firefox 4 and leaves people with reduced mobility.

    If a plugin is disabled, it will have the word "enable" next to him; There is a button for you to click to activate the plugin, and not a label describing the status of plugin.

    If I've got it completely wrong, please post a screenshot.
