• How to retrieve the list of users from the users AD Group? Once more :-)

  I already spent several hours trying to figure out how to get a list of the members of a user group in active directory.

  My first approach was something like this:

  for {(i in userGroup.userMembers)

  System.log (UserGroup.userMembers [i]. AccountName);

  }

  with:

  Group of users as AD:UserGroup

  and by using the API, userGroup.userMembers is an array of AD_User.

  Please be aware of the '_' in the class script AD_User.

  But the for loop with strictly nothing happens, the 'userMembers' attribute does not exist.

  I believe that this is because the AD:UserGroup is a type that does not offer the same attributes and methods as the class AD_UserGroup.

  I also tried to put or to map the AD:UserGroup in AD_UserGroup but the vCO does not create such an object:

  var myAD_UserGroup = new AD_UserGroup();

  ends with:

  Failed to create the object: AD_UserGroup: ch.dunes.ad.object.UserGroup

  Any ideas?

  Question at random... you have the comma in your user objects CN value? If so... you could be hitting the same problem I had. I opened a SR, and the team of Dev/Eng vCO ended up giving me a patched plugin that fixed things upward.

• Failed to retrieve more than 100 virtual machines by using the method PropertyCollector and WaitForUpdatesEx

  With vSphere SDK for .NET. Sorry, could not find a forum .NET for vSphere SDK, but the Java forum should be close enough.

  I have problems of retrieval of a list of virtual machines from a Pool of resources. More precisely, if there are more than 100 mV (104 in my case) in the folder or the Pool of resources returned UpdateSet can have 100 items in there.

  The offending code is the following:

  UpdateSet uSet = pc. WaitForUpdatesEx (string. Empty, new WaitOptions() {MaxWaitSeconds = 0});
  Console.Writeline (uSet.FilterSet [0].) ObjectSet.Count); will always contain no more than 100 items

  It seems to be a difficult cut off the coast of 100 items.
  WaitOptions of WaitForUpdatesEx contains a property of MaxObjectUpdates of literature

  "The maximum number of entries in ObjectUpdate which must be returned in a single result of WaitForUpdatesEx. See truncated

  An undefined value indicates that there is no maximum. In this case political PropertyCollector can still limit the number of objects that appear in a UpdateSet. »

  But what is the policy of 'PropertyCollector' that it is? I've been trawling the web and will find absolutely no mention of this in all others in the documentation.

  I also tried to put right in a a MaxObjectUpdates = 150 just to see what would happen. Yet once only 100 items returned.

  For reference, here's a more complete article of the code:

  EntityViewBase folderMngObj = GetVsphereVmFolderManagedObjectRefId (vClient, vSpherefolderName);

  If (folderMngObj! = null)
       {
  ManagedObjectReference svcRef = new ManagedObjectReference() {Type = 'ServiceInstance', Value = 'ServiceInstance'};
  SrvInst ServiceInstance = new ServiceInstance (vClient, svcRef);

  ServiceContent sContent = srvInst.RetrieveServiceContent ();
  ViewManager viewManager = new ViewManager (vClient, sContent.ViewManager);
  PropertyCollector pc = new PropertyCollector (vClient, sContent.PropertyCollector);

  ManagedObjectReference cvMngObjRef = viewManager.CreateContainerView (folderMngObj.MoRef, new String() {"VirtualMachine"}, false);
  ContainerView cv = new ContainerView (vClient, cvMngObjRef);
  PropertySpecList list < PropertySpec > = gcnew List < PropertySpec > ();

  foreach (string propertyPath in vmPropertyPaths)
            {
  PropertySpec propSpec = new PropertySpec();
  propSpec.PathSet = new String() {propertyPath ;} }
  propSpec.Type = 'VirtualMachine';
  propertySpecList.Add (propSpec);
            }

  PropertySpec [] propertySpecs = propertySpecList.ToArray ();
  PropertyFilterSpec pfs = new PropertyFilterSpec();
            pfs. ObjectSet = new ObjectSpec [] {CreateObjSpec (cv)};
            pfs. PropSet = propertySpecs;

  / / Create a property with partialUpdate is true
  PropertyFilter pf = new PropertyFilter (vClient, pc. CreateFilter (pfs, true));

  / / Wait that initial udpate with the version string empty
  UpdateSet uSet = pc. WaitForUpdatesEx (string. Vacuum, new WaitOptions() {MaxWaitSeconds = 0})

  / / Here uSet.FilterSet [0]. ObjectSet will always contain not more than 100 items

  viewTable = OutputDataset (uSet);
            pf. DestroyPropertyFilter();
  }

  Any help would be appreciated.

  What is the value of the indicator "truncated" in the returned UpdateSet?

  http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/VC-SDK/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vmodl.query.PropertyCollector.UpdateSet.html#truncated

  If set to true, you must call waitForUpdatesEx (with the version of the UpdateSet) back to get the rest updates.

• How to import the list of virtual machines to complete a table in a workflow

  When you run the followingworkflow/library/vCenter/batch/run a workflow on a selection of objects

  How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

  At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

  There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

• Script to get 1 csv by cluster with associated information (list of virtual machines, host capacity, IOPS / s...)

  Hi all, I'm new here and it's been days I'm trying to find the right script to the list of virtual machines and related information on each cluster and get 1 csv for each individual cluster.

  Here is my code:

  Get-content C:\cl.txt | % {

  $cl = $_

  Get - VM | Select-Object @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, @{Expression = 'Host'; Label = "ESX host"}, @{Expression = "Name"; Label is "VM"},

  @{Expression = "Numcpu"; Label = 'vCPU'}, @{Expression = "MemoryGB"; Label = "RAM (GB)"}, "

  @{n = "Provisioned Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (ProvisionedSpaceGB, 2)}}, @{n = "Use the Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (UsedSpaceGB, 2)}},

  @{N = "Ops ARE/s/write"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}},

  @{N = "Ops ARE/s/reading"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}} | Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture 'C:\vm_report_$cl.csv '.

  }

  Note: each csv is generated for each cluster

  CL.txt lists the clusters , but all I get is several files with the same content, and they are not properly renamed

  How can I do to generate 1 csv by cluster ?

  For example, there are 3 groups A1, A2, A3 (in file cl.txt), we get 3 csv files generated individually A1.csv, A2.csv and A3.csv and related data in them:

  A1.csv :                                                                 A2.csv :                                                                    A3.csv

  Host cluster VM RAM (GB) Cluster ESX VM RAM (GB) Cluster Host ESX VM ESX host

  Sx0002 su55000 sx0002pack sw12785 A1 2 A2 1 A3 su1384adm iu00025

  Help with this script would you gladly.

  Thank you

  Joseph.

  Judging by the timestamp, it seems that these files with spaces between the file name and file type, were made yesterday.

  This might have been one of your previous tests?

  Maybe do a series of tests of the script in an empty folder.

• A simple but difficult for me - Power off/on a list of virtual machines

  I know that orders for food and on a virtual machine, but if I have a list of virtual machines in a csv format file, and I want to turn off (not free) and then power back them on, what is the best way to ensure that this is done?  Or even if I want to provide a list of virtual machines, how?

  I thought about it, but has changed some things.  It works fine now.

  Power off

  $vc = Read-Host "Enter the name VC"

  $cred = get-Credential

  SE connect-VIServer $vc - Credential $cred

  $file = "c:\temp\vmlist.txt".

  $vms = get-Content $file

  Get - VM $vms | WHERE-object {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} | Stop-VMGuest-confirm: $false | Out-Null

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  Power on

  $vc = Read-Host "Enter the name VC"

  $cred = get-Credential

  SE connect-VIServer $vc - Credential $cred

  $file = "c:\temp\vmlist.txt".

  $vms = get-Content $file

• Try the list of virtual machines by NetworkName, then add advanced settings

  Hello

  I'm trying to connect to a host (not a vCenter), list the virtual machines, select the different networks of those in two, then apply two advanced settings for the virtual machine.

  So far, I have this:

  $vms = get - VM

  SE connect-VIServer $esxi - user $user-password $pass

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  If (Get-NetworkAdapter - vm $vm.name |?) {{$_.NetworkName - eq "VLAN70"})}

  New-AdvancedSetting $vm - isolation.tools.copy.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

  New-AdvancedSetting $vm - isolation.tools.paste.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

  }

  }

  Disconnect-VIServer $esxi - confirm: $false

  First of all, how I add a second network to verify - if 'VLAN70' or 'VLAN80 '?

  Secondly, there is a smarter way of writing this script?  I'm doors beginning with PowerCLI, but I think even my grandmother could write a better version...

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

  -virtualhobbit

  I see, so you could do something like this

  $tgtVLAN = "VLAN80", "VLAN80", "VLAN90".

  SE connect-VIServer $esxi - user $user-password $pass

  Get - VM |

  where {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ | % {$tgtVLAN-contient $_.NetworkName}) - contains $true} | %{

• Need a script to list all virtual machines on specific data warehouses

  I am trying to find a way to list all virtual computers on specific data warehouses. I use vSphere 5.1 and so far I got this:

  Get-Datastore. where {$_ .name - like ' * XXX * ""} | Get - VM | Select name, @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | Sort name | FT - one

  This kind of work, but it would be perfect if I got this:

  -Group data store

  -Unique virtual machines (VMS to report only to the data store where the VMX)

  Any help appreciated.

  I relied on the fact that the first in the list would be the data store that holds the VMX, which apparently is a misconception.

  Try like this

  Get-Datastore-Name ' * xxx *' |

  Get - VM | Select the name,

  @{N = "Datastore"; E={$_. {{ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName.split ('[]') [1]}} |

• Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

  Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

  # #SCRIPT_START

  $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

  $Import = import-csv $file

  $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

  $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

  $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

  You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

  An example of this cmdley

  New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

  In your case, you could do

  Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

  But beware of negative numbers.

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• Get the list of virtual machine names and addresses IP to a specific folder

  I am trying to get a list of virtual machine names and the IP addresses of a specific folder in vCenter. The problem is that there are several files with the same name in different folders. I need to know how to specify the level folder higher in which lies the customer10 folder. Here is an example of my current script that pulls all the info from the virtual machine of all folders named customer10:

  Get-vm-location customer10 | Select Address Name,@{N="IP." E = {@($_.guest.) (IPAddress[0])}} |
  out-file c:\VM_IP_Addresses.csv

  The PowerSHell engine is to 'know' the function before you call it.

  Save the function in a .ps1 file.

  Point source then this .ps1 file. Make sure that you are placed in the directory where the .ps1 is stored, or use the full path

  PowerCLI C:\ >. ./GetFolderByPath.ps1

  Note that there is an empty space between the 2 points!

  Now you can call the function

  PowerCLI C:\ > Get-FolderByPath-path MYDC/myFolder. Get - VM | Select the name...

• Create the list of virtual machines to exclude the script through .csv file?

  Hello

  I have a script that runs all day off hours to check my VMs respect some things, like having the option to 'VM tools upgrade policy' checked. The script will export a list of virtual machines that DO NOT have this option enabled and then later to fix the problem. Now, for some specific VMS, I don't want to have the option active and want to exclude them from this review. I try to add a list of these virtual machines I want to exclude from my check script of VMTools_UpgradePolicy via a .csv file containing their names. Here's what I have:

  ##############################################
  #VMTools update during the feeding cycle - report
  ##############################################
  function Report_VMTools_UpgradePolicy {}
  $list = import-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\EXCLUDE LIST\EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv".
  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name}
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  The content of the EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv is as follows:

  'Name '.
  "VM1.
  "VM2.

  "VM3.

  I try to get all the virtual machines in my environment who have the ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual' (unchecked), AND which do not match any of the names on my list of exclusions (VM1, VM2, VM3). My script so far will do what I want, except that only the last entry in my list of exclusions will take into account. VM1 and VM2 will still be reported as VMs that need to be addressed.

  I'm not sure that I am taking the right approach with this, I will continue to seek a solution for what I want, but any help would be appreciated! I prefer to make my list of exclusion to a separate file, for example "EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv", because I want that other administrators to be able to just open this .csv file and add virtual machines to this list without having to touch my scripts.

  Thank you!

  Vince

  Hi Vince,.

  It is like that I think because of your statement:

  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name} -> it
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  $exclude is a variable that contains only 1 entry., that's why you see only the last element inside. It will not be an array.

  foreach ($entry in $list) {[string []]+ $exclude = Get-VM-name $entry.} Name}

  This will fill $exclude table with entries of string that will contain the names of virtual machine.

  And when you will be comparing. I think you should use

  where {$exclude - notcontains $_.} Name - and... the rest

  Kind regards

  Greg
