• 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.

• 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

  Expected results (example):

  Service console | vmnic0 (a) : (s) | 01 vmnic1: 00. 00 (a) : 02:00. 00 (s) | abcd-123 [GigabitEthernet10/10] : xyzf-7890 [Gigabitethernet11/11]

  Please note if CDP is not active, then in the field of physical switch values can contain "CDP is not enabled"

  Thanks in advance!

  Noticed that the two threads under became a little mixed in the script.

  This is the script with the devIds with the indication of the active / standby.

  foreach($esxImpl in (Get-VMHost)){
       $esx = $esxImpl | Get-View
       $netSys = Get-View $esx.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
       foreach($pg in $esx.Config.Network.Portgroup){
            $pNICStr = @()
            $pciStr = @()
            $cdpStr = @()
            foreach($a in $pg.ComputedPolicy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.ActiveNic){
                 if($a){
                      $pNICStr += ($a + "(a)")
                      $pciStr += ($esx.Config.Network.Pnic | where {$_.Device -eq $a} | %{$_.Pci + "(a)"})
                      $cdpInfo = $netSys.QueryNetworkHint($a)
                      $cdpStr += &{if($cdpInfo[0].connectedSwitchPort){$cdpInfo[0].connectedSwitchPort.devId + "(a)"}else{"CDP not configured(a)"}}
                 }
            }
            foreach($s in $pg.ComputedPolicy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.StandbyNic){
                 if($s){
                      $pNICStr += ($s + "(s)")
                      $pciStr += ($esx.Config.Network.Pnic | where {$_.Device -eq $s} | %{$_.Pci + "(s)"})
                      $cdpInfo = $netSys.QueryNetworkHint($s)
                      $cdpStr += &{if($cdpInfo[0].connectedSwitchPort){$cdpInfo[0].connectedSwitchPort.devId + "(s)"}else{"CDP not configured(s)"}}
                 }
            }

• Need a powershell script to collect info patch esx

  Hello

  IAM looking for a powershell script that collects the result of "motion esxupdate" for all versions of esx host 3.5 in the Virtual center 2.5 version and exports to CSV file.

  It should take input as virtual Center and collect all the information of ESX host, connect to esx hosts, run the esxupdate query and update of the CSV with results.

  I got the code base of other scripts. I've pasted below. He collects only results for esx server in view of the need to modify the code for the above requirements.

  -

  $servers = "server0″", server1″

  $account = "root".

  $password = "password".

  $servers | % {$a = plink - pw $password $account@$_ "esxupdate query"

  {$server = $_}

  Thanks in advance!

  Have you tried running the script in the powershell console?

  May be a problem with the vesi script editor.

• Need a powershell script to create a local user on esx given the esx server list box

  Hello

  I need a powershell script to create a local user on esx in a given list entry of esx servers through a csv spreadsheet. The script should ask me the user name and the password for the user name to be created on the given list of esx servers.

  Thanks in advance!

  Just noticed that there is a lack of vacuum after the - password parameter.

  It should be

  $userName = Read-Host "Username"
  $password = Read-Host "Password" -AsSecureString:$true
  Import-Csv "C:\vmhosts.csv" | %{
       Connect-VIServer -Server $_.Hostname -Credential (Get-Credential)
       New-VMHostAccount  -Id $userName -Password $password -UserAccount:$true -GrantShellAccess:$true -Confirm:$false
       Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
  }

• Need a powershell script to find the PID of VM in an ESX box

  Hello

  I need a powershell script to list out the PID of all virtual machines running in a box of ESX.

  The script should prompt for ESX box name and root password.

  Expected results:

  The virtual computer name.  NEST

  Thanks in advance!

  My mistake, the point (any character) is to eat the rest of the message.

  Try again with

  $mask = [regex]"vmid=(\d+)\s+([\w-]+)"
  

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

• Need a PowerShell script to...

  Hi, I need a PowerShell script to list all the virtual machine from the center of data-list for each virtual computer all drives and formats the disc and the disc type and a free column for comments.

  Move us the backup platforms and try to develop a plan of migration for all virtual machines

  See you soon

  Looks like you are using an older version of PowerCLI, the CapacityGB was introduced in one of the previous PowerCLI builds.

  Try to upgrade.

  If an upgrade is not possible, you can do

  Get-Datacenter -Name MyDC | Get-VM | Sort-Object -Property Name |Get-HardDisk | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},Name,@{N="CapacityGB";E={[int]($_.CapacityKB/1MB)}},@{N="Type";E={[string]::Join('/',($_.DiskType,$_.StorageFormat,$_.Persistence))}},@{N="Comment";E={' '*25}} |Export-Csv C:\HD-report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  It also sorts the VM on their Name property.

• Shell ESX or MS Powershell script to add permissions to the user host account

  I have this command "Add a user" ESX 3.5 service console...

  CD/usr/sbin /.

  adduser-l user-p password u 502

  You know the command to give this user 'Read only' "permissions" of the "ESX Server"?

  The attachment shows where the permissions of the user (in this case Akorri) have been added to the GUI of the VIC connected to the ESX host.

  Even better... You have a PowerShell Script to add users and permissions?

  Hello

  You must use a shell script to modify the etc/vmware/hostd/authorization.xml file. I have yet to see a powershell script that can make these changes for you, but you could check in PowerGUI.

• Get-QADComputer fails if run PowerShell script through Orchestrator workflow

  I use the "Get-QADComputer" cmdlet in my .ps1 script that is supposed to run via Orchestrator.  I have several PowerShell scripts started by Orchestrator and run on a host windows without any problem.  For this script, I have these 2 commands and still error.  The script does not error when run locally.

  Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

  $Computer = get-QADComputer-identity "server01" | where {$_.name - eq "server01"}

  In troubleshooting, I ran Get-PSSnapin and can see that the snap for AD is loaded successfully.  I tried Connect-QADService and who also gives the same error, although it works very well on place.

  I use vCO 5.1.1. device.   On the hosts Windows where are the scripts PowerShell, the AD snap is version 1.6.0.2683.

  Here is the error in the logs Orchestrator...

  Thanks for the info.  I use the workflow "Invoke an external script" to run many of my host admin PowerShell scripts.  It is easier for me to keep all .ps1 files in one place and not import them into Orchestrator.  The article prompted me to switch my connection to host basic Powershell to Kerberos.  To do this, I had to update /etc/krb5.conf on the device of the vCO.  I've referenced VMware KB2036986 to work around the problem "unable to get kdc for the Kingdom.  This issue was mainly because we couldn't have krb5 configured previously.

  Now, I got a different error during execution of the workflow after bouncing vCO.

  System.NullReferenceException: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.

  Has pointed out me the need to first make the connection AD.  He has not worked before without Kerberos authentication.  Once I added these lines of code, Get-QADComputer finally worked without error!   Thanks for the help.

  $pass = ConvertTo-SecureString - AsPlainText-Force - String "password".

  Connect-QADService - "example.com\serviceaccount" ConnectionAccount - ConnectionPassword $pass

  $Computer = get-QADComputer-identity "server01" | where {$_.name - eq "server01"}

• Such a powershell script exist?

  Windows Server Standard 2012R2. I know not enough about powershell scripts to be dangerous. So I guess that its better to ask for help on this one. As you know, in the Windows backup program, the e-mail feature is depreciated on server 2012. However, I had no problem of customization of a powershell script that I found so that it sends an email when the nightly backup is completed successfully. Te was easy to do. In Manager tasks I just put the firing an event, with the event being backup Windows and a number of event 4 - which means backup completed successfully. In fact, it works very well for my clients.  But it is not the fault of my client. (of course!)

  Customers only the desire to receive an email if the backup is not successful. But the reasons for a backup failed are many which can generate any number of errors in the event log. Since I'm just not knowledgeable of powershell scripts, I hope someone can help me here, or at least direct me to where I can get help. Basically, I need a script powershell like this:

  Trigger is "the eventID 14 (completed backup operation).

  If eventID in the Microsoft-Windows-backup/OPerational log prior to the triggering event is not 4, while sendmail

  This above would of course, include my work already sendmail script. Is this possible? Maybe someone has already done? Any help would be appreciated.

• Newbie question - tide may run a remote PowerShell script or BAT file?

  My first post.  I am new to raz, but I've had experience with other planners.

  I have a PowerShell script that must be run on a remote computer.  All the script needs software is installed on this computer.

  In addition, I need the script runs under a service account.  Is it possible and if yes, how can I go about it?

  This work will be be launched manually whenever this is necessary.

  Sure. There are some screenshots. A variable one, I used for the location of the folder on the server of tide (not required but I use a lot of scripts). One for the command of tide itself. The last one is the script runs remotely on windows work. Let me know if they don't make sense.
