Run on Windows prompt batch file

Searching the forum and the docs that I found a couple of old with examples of using vmrun son, but have not been able to make it work.  Can any who share a contemporary example or point me to more information?

Thank you...

When I run a Script command (.cmd file) or a Batch (.bat) file in a Windows OS x prompt in a Terminal, I use the following syntax:

vmrun -T fusion -gu <"user"> -gp <"pass"> runProgramInGuest <"path to .vmx file"> -noWait <"path to .cmd file">

  • Run a Task Scheduler batch file not working

    I have I have a batch copy file and rename it to a file.  It works fine when double click on it.  I set up to run on Task Scheduler using the wizard of Basic Actions.  To test the method, I did a simple batch file that displays the date and time and stored in the same folder as my desired batch file.  The Scheduler runs the simple bat very well.  When I try to launch the bat copy/rename file, it doesn't do anything, but I do not see the flash blue and see that the planner lists the task completed successfully.

    Per a suggestion on this site tried to change the setting to "use if the user is logged in or not."  When I click on the box, I get a few indecipherable message on restrictions and password empty.  It is a single-user computer (w7 64-bit), and as far as I know, is free of passwords and restrictions...  Any help much appreciated, I have no hair left to tear.

  • Batch file for migration and closing the virtual computer

    Hello, currently my company uses visualization of network monitoring software that allows us to react when certain thresholds are exceeded. We seek to define a threshold for when our UPS reaches a certain point (i.e. a point where the battery is discharged) and we would like to run a script or batch file that stops certain s VM, migrate some s VM for a single host and stop some ESX hosts. We want to create as much time as possible for our virtual machines essential.  I came across this tool and wonder if someone has done something similar? I'm not very familiar with batch files, and I'm fighting to run second and third commands. My current batch file looks like this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" - NoExit-command ' Connect-VIServer VIServer-user 'exampleusername'-'examplepassword' password ' I can't run additional commands after connection. As I said I'm not very good with batch files and I am new with this program.   If someone could point me in the right direction of the execution of the additional commands from a batch file after you have connected the script above, I would appreciate it a lot.
    I also would be interested in other ideas, if others have done similar things for the same purpose.
    Thank you very much!

    Instead of real orders of PS during the invocation of PowerShell, you might call a. Ps1 script that contains all of the instructions of PS.

    To call the script from a command file, you can do something like this

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" c:\your_script.ps1

    Hi William,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Batch file is a type of script file, a text file, containing a series of commands to be executed by the command prompt. When you run a batch file, it opens the command prompt to run the scripts.

    It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

    1. what happens when you try to run a batch file?

    2 are. what batch file you referring?

    3. the problem occurs for a particular batch file?

    First of all, I suggest you to check the commands written in a batch file. To do the same thing, just right-click on the batch file, and then click change. It will open Notepad with the list of orders scripted for this particular batch file.

    If you have additional questions on the computer, please ask your question about Windows and we will be happy to help you.

  • Windows 7 will not allow a batch file to run.

    I created a batch file.  Double-clicking it in Explorer lights up only the Publisher.  It runs in a command window does the editor.  That is what it is?

    Should it run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (SP3) maybe? Right click, select Properties , and then make the changes in the compatibility tab.

    You didn't mention what your batch file has been written to do, but it must run an command with administrator privileges prompt?

    To start an elevated command prompt, click Start and type CMD but do not press ENTER. Find the program listed above CMD and right click and select run as administrator.

    If this does not work the script file, you will need to click right on the. BAT or. CMD and select Properties. Under the tab compatibility , under privilege level, check the run as Administrator option. This should be performed by the users of the human resources of the computer, click on change settings for all users and make your changes as well.

  • Windows 7 and I have a batch file to copy files from 1 computer to another. It works fine alone, but when I put it to run in the Task Scheduler it shows it ends successfully, but nothing is happening

    Run a batch file in Task Scheduler

    Hello ITGIRL17,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Configure your task under your administrator account.
    Then go to the folder with the batch file and ADD on control for the folder administrator permissions and each of the files in batches.
    If the batch files write data, then the target for the task should ALSO have all explicit permissions.
    Now try to run the Task Scheduler task.

    Also check the information from the following link and look specifically at Brian Vandemark Sommaire steps on 2 September.

  • Run a batch file in windows separated box to call DRM client batch

    I need your suggestions on what follows.

    ODI & DRM are installed on separate boxes.

    Now, I want to ODI to call a batch file (kept on DRM - Windows box, this batch file called client batch DRM for export metadata). I tried to use the notion of shared folder, but without success.

    Pointers please?

    This should work for you-

    Create a batch on your current server (ODI) file and write in the path to the other file of commands on the other server.

    Server2completename/D$/path/yourbatchfile.bat

    Calling your batch file that you created on the same machine... which inturn will call the other on another machine batch file to run the batch client from the ODI.

    Also you can paste errors that you can get... need to check if you get any specific problem related to this.

    Thank you

  • Windows 7 keeps looping in my batch files

    I recently bought a new computer and Windows 7 came over her.  I like it so far.  I just have a problem.  I can't run batch files.

    If I open the command prompt and type:

    stop s f

    everything works fine.  I gives me a notice that my computer shuts down in less than a minute.  But I put exactly the same inside a file, I named "shutdown.bat" command prompt appears and shows exactly what I typed, skip a line, then it displays again and again and again and again...

    So I am confused.  I've been reading about people having problems with batch files in Windows 7, but my problem seems completely different from theirs.

    Now all I know is:

    • command prompt will still receive the shutdown command
    • My batch file run when double click
    • contents of the batch file will not run

    If anyone can help?

    It is a classic case of the dog bites his tail. When you put the command

    stop s f

    in your batch file then this command executes the batch itself rather than shutdown.exe, as shutdown.bat is located in the current folder! There are several ways to solve this problem, but the safest is to avoid at all costs to name your batch file identical to a system file. Rename it to MyShutdown.bat and your problem will be solved.

  • Pushing scripts or batch files in Windows VM

    I think I'm in the correct community, but if not let me know and I'll move on to the question in the correct forum.

    We use vSphere 4.0 and I would push a batch file and scripts for all our virtual machines of Windows (instead of opening each Windows vm and manually run the batch/scripts)...is it anything in vSphere that would allow me to do it, or there at - it an addon or another program that would make this possible?)

    I searched this forum, searched the help of vSphere and google than a few keywords, but I can't seem to find any information on this.

    Thank you

    Yes, VMware has an API called VIX which enables comments management, one of the features are the ability to upload or download files to and from the guestOS. VIX uses VMware Tools to perform these operations and you can run a specific command within a prompt OR download and run a script.

    For more information, VIX, please take a look here - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/

    There are some integration with PowerCLI cmdlets with VIX if you are more comfortable in Windows, there are PowerCLI forum you can ask your question - http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/automationtools/powercli

    So according to the language of comfort, you can easily hang VIX API using vSphere SDK for Java, PowerCLI, Perl, etc.
