  He accepts what regex esteem alphabetic characters or the hyphen (-).

• PowerShell script to browse the root of an ESXI host?

  I am currently working on a project to automate the task to bring our standard up to STIG vmware environment.

  
  I was able to make the largest part of the task using PowerCLI and vSphereCLI scripts. Some patches require that you check the data to files like/etc/ssh/ssh_config... I tried to use the vifs.pl, but that does not allow you to browse directories host root. Also trying to research how to execute SSH via Powershell commands, but there is no free utlity. Is there another way to do this?

  Here is an example: under text difficulty: I need to be able to read the content of/etc/ssh/ssh_config to check if there is the "LOCAL so."

  Under rule: the SSH client must not send any environment variables on the server or send only those relating to the regional settings.

  STIG ID: GEN005529-ESXI5-708 rule ID: SV - 51085r1_rule Vuln ID: V-39269

  Severity: CAT II class: Unclass

  Discussion:
  Environment variables can be used to change the behavior of remote sessions and should be limited. Local environment variables specify the language, character set and other features change the operation of the software according to the preferences of the user.

  Documentable: No.

  Check the content:
  Deactivate the lock mode.
  Select the shell ESXi.
  < file > = / etc/ssh/ssh_config
  < Required_keyword > = AcceptEnv
  < Required_keyword_setpoint > = LOCAL
  Run the following commands:
  # grep AcceptEnv/etc/ssh/ssh_config

  If 'AcceptEnv' is not set to 'LOCAL' a finding.

  Reactivate the lock mode.

  Difficulty of text:
  Deactivate the lock mode.
  Select the shell ESXi.
  < file > = / etc/ssh/ssh_config
  < Required_keyword > = AcceptEnv
  < Required_keyword_setpoint > = LOCAL
  Run the following commands:
  # vi < file >

  Add/Modify the < required_keyword > or < required_keyword_setpoint > where/as necessary for 'LOCAL '.

  Reactivate the lock mode.

• Need to powershell script to gather the host ESX Info network

  Hello

  I need two scripts powershell to collect two types of information about the ESX host network.

  1. information vNIC -& gt; information on the vmnic (physical ESX host network adapter) connected to vSwitches.

  vNIC | VSwitch model | | Trade | Speed | Status | | PCI slot Active/stand-by/not assigned

  (Example) output expected:

  vmnic0 | intel corporation 82XXXX gigabit ethernet controller | vSwitch0 | service console, vMotion | 1000mbps Full | up 01:01.00 | | Assets

  2. Portgroup information

  PortGroup | vNIC (s) with active / standby |  PCI slot of vNIC (s) with active / standby | Physical switch with port number

• PowerShell Script - Annotations to CSV

  Hello everyone!

  I need a liitle powershell script that does the following.

  Get all the VM and when "CustomAttribute" is set to 1, write the values such as CPU, RAM,... in a csv file.

  I tried like this:

  $VMExport = get - VM | Get-Annotation CustomAttribute - Export | Where-Object {$_.} {Value - eq 1}

  But now, I have only the value 1 in the Variable '$VMExport' and can not use it for more things.

  Can someone help me with this?

  The CustomFields is a hash table, you can access the values by using the key as the index.

  You will need to use a property calculated for this

  $VMExport = Get-VM | where {Get-Annotation -Entity $_ -CustomAttribute Export | Where-Object {$_.Value -eq 1 }} |
  Select Name,ProvisionedSpaceGB,MemoryMB,NumCpu,Description,   @{N="Custom Field";E={$_.CustomFields["CustomFieldName"]}}
  

  It retrieves the value of the custom field called 'CustomFieldName' and it appears under the "Custom Field" property.

• Need a powershell script to gather information from ESX host

  Hello

  I need a powershell script to collect the below given information host ESX to the Virtual Center. My VC:2.5 of the environment, the ESX hosts: 2.5, 3, 3.5

  At present I have individual powershell scripts of a steamer to get these details. Would be more useful to have a single script. I tried VESI, but does not receive the report in the below in the format.

  | ESX host name Version | Number | construction | manufacturer Model | Processor type | Number of physical CPUS | Number of cores | VMotion service IP Console IP | | County HBA | Physical NETWORK interface cards count

  Thanks in advance!

  So I'm at my wits end here.

  It works for me and Robert also confirmed that it worked for him.

  Although I don't see why this would solve the problem, you could finally try an upgrade to PowerShell v2 RTM.

  Have you tried running the script in the powershell console?

  May be a problem with the vesi script editor.

• 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
