• Pass the credentials to connect-VIServer

  Hey all,.

  I give my first ride with scritping with powercli. I have currently a "script" that consists of two one liners, first line is to remove a virtual machine and the second line is to create a virtual machine from a clone. Nothing major, I know. I'm trying to understand, what I would plan this script as a Windows task and pass the credentials used to run the task to the cmdlet Connect-VIServer I at the beginning of the scipt.

  Someone help a rookie?

  TIA,

  -Jason

  Why not let the scheduled task run with this specific account?

  In this way, you don't have to pass the credentials to the cmdlet Connect-VIServer, it uses the credentials of the user under which the scheduled task runs.

  If the above is not possible and you must pass credentials, take a look at Hal functions PSCredential-export and import-PSCredential.

  These jacks allow the use the credentials in a secure manner that pass them in clear text in your script.

• Running PowerCLI connect VIServer & Get - VM as a single command

  I'm trying to create a script that allows me to generate the results of the cmdlet 'get - vm | Get-snapshot | format-list' in a file

  
  

  I use a piece of software that allows us to run scripts remotely via commands or PowerShell prompt

  
  

  How can I create a single command line that would Connect-VIServer vCenterServerName order & the get - vm | get-snapshot | format-list?

  
  

  I add variables via our software for the name of user and password & vmware server IP. These variables must be part of the command, for example:

  
  

  SE connect-VIServer-Server @VMwareHostIP @ - protocol https - User @Username @ - Password @Password @.

  
  

  Is there a way I could call the PowerCLI from the Windows command prompt?
  

  You can try below to the command prompt

  PowerShell "add-pssnapin vmware.vimautomation.core"; ' Connect-VIServer-Server @VMwareHostIP @ - protocol https - User @Username @ - Password @Password @; ' get - vm | Get-snapshot | format-list.

  Separate each command with ';' and best practices is Quote unquote each order.

• How can I get my icon of network connectivity added to the notification (to the left of the date) area?

  original title: Hello, how can I get my icon of network connectivity added to the notification (to the left of the date) area?   Thank you, NT

  The icon disappeared after stopping at the wall accidentally. When I right click on the taskbar, go into the properties box and notification, network system icon is grayed out.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi NT,

  You can read the following article and check if it helps.

  System icons do not appear in the notification area in Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must restart the computer

• Connect-VIServer throws the invalid URI error in the Studio of Powershell, but is very well outdoors

  I don't know if it's a problem of Powershell Studio 2014 or PowerCLI, but other people have reported the "invalid URI: the hostname could not be parsed" error, so I'll start here.

  I have a PowerCLI 5.0.1 on Windows 7, Powershell v2.0 and Powershell Studio 2014.

  In my script, when I run the Connect-VIServer-Server $server command, the command fails and generates the invalid URI error.  However, when I run my script in the command window PowerCLI, the script works fine.

  I guess I have a problem of environment in the Studio of Powershell, but wonder what circumstances causes PowerCLI to raise this error.

  So far, I have not had much luck with Studio 2014 Powershell and PowerCLI, don't know if it's powershell v2.0 or something else.

  It looks like a Studio of Powershell environment problem.

  I have many ps1 files and use the point of supply to load the files ps1 in support which includes the call to connect-VIServer.  When I put the connect-VIServer in the file main ps1 I can connect to my vCenter, but when I put in the origin file, I cannot connect, nor can fact the fitting of test-work order.

  Thanks for the help.

• How to make the Connect-VIServer cmdlet to always ask for username password

  Hi all

  I use the connect-viserver cmdlet to connect between host windows to my vcenter server.

  using

  The host - Powershell - 2.0, Windows XP, Powercli installed machine.

  Target machine - Vcenter server 4.1.0 on windows 2008 server, in the other subnet

  I want to have a provision that it must always ask for user name and password to connect.

  I took a look at

  But failed to get the relevant information.

  Any ideas?

  My mistake, Connect-ViServer does not accept a SecureString. You first need to convert it

  Try it like this

  $userName = "username"
  $passwd = Read-Host ("Password for " + $userName) -AsSecureString:$true
  $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $userName,$passwd
  Connect-VIServer -Server MyServer -Credential $cred
  

• Save the Connect-VIServer session between scripts?

  In order to make the GUI for people who are not used to the command line, we want to look at aid where VBScript code call scripts powershell to work behind the scenes of the HTA.  The only problem is the delay of connecting to VIServer for what the user does.  Say they click on a button for a list of the virtual machine, it could trigger a ps script which collects and posts this info using the Clipboard.  After that, however, that the script is closed and therefore the session.  The button depending on whether they click should also have a sign at the beginning of the script, accompanied by another 10 seconds to wait on the connection.  Is there a way to store/save the session so that we can connect onload of the code of the road and all the following scripts could continue with this session?

  Thank you

  Josh

  Keep the open sessions is not a good idea imho, and the maximum number of sessions is limited.

  Have you tried all the known solutions to accelerate the PowerCLI process?

  • Disable the automatic detection of proxy in powershell.config
  • Run the command ngen once to make the first cmdlet faster. See How to speed up execution of the first PowerCLI cmdlet.

  Another possible way is to use a central script that runs continuously in the background and you submit orders from your application to this central script through a sort of semaphores (this could be simple files in a specific folder for example).

  Update: there used to Save Session and Load-Session cmdlets in previous versions of PowerCLI, but these were dropped.

• Ideas re: ' Connect-VIServer: could not connect using the requested protocol "failure

  I know, it's a matter of weakness, but I hit the wall on this one. I've even got desperate enough that bouncing private LuD, and I tried everything we discussed, but I'm still @ deadlocked.

  I developed and tested several scripts that I am finally ready to go with Prod.

  I get this error when I am trying to connect to Vcenter server or host of the cmndline of vitoolkit (and obviously in scripts).

  «Connect-VIServer: could not connect using the requested protocol.»

  I'm runing the vitoolkit FROM the server VCenter, so I wouldn't exepct the local to be a problem connection. I expect calls the ESX servers as questions) (we have several firewalls in the game). But even once, on-site I would not expect a problem.

  I checked my ports of VC and even more precisely called listener in the connect command, but it does not help.

  I tried to watch the ports through various lines of command, but I don't see anything.

  Any suggestions?

  Add - confirm: $false and it won't be quick.

• Extraction of SSL with initial Connect-VIServer

  Sorry if this has already been asked before, but I was not able to find it by searching online or in the forums.

  I would like to enter the thumbprint SSL "B846B9F36C1D978CEDA0199294E61B4515656396"? I looked online and even asked some people but never able to retrieve this property by using PowerShell/PowerCLI. I can do it easily on one other system Windows with openssl (http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/04/extracting-ssl-thumbprint-from-esxi.html), but wanted to see if there is a way without going through relays on the external packaging and since it is available as part of the connect-VIServer, I thought it must be possible but my PowerCLI-Fu isn't quite at the height as the others , figure so I ask. If it is indeed removable, which I guess it is then a bonus would be to format and so I have a variable that looks like: B8:46:B9:F3:6 C: 1 d: 97:8 C: ED: A0:19:92:94:E6:1 B: 45:15:65:63:96

  Hello

  put a step DECLARATION above all. After that in my opinion, it is better to put a TO_CHAR().

  Try putting your variable in text mode and change your filter in

  TO_CHAR (LAST_UPDATE_DATE, 'YYYYMMDDHHMI') > = TO_CHAR(#PROJ.) P_EXTRACT_FROM_TS, "YYYYMMDDHHMI")

  In your operator if you click on the variable whose value you see?
