• script to check a setting in a file for specific entry vmx

  HI friends,

  I wonder if it is possible to control the specific entry VMX file via script powercli. Actually I wanted to search for all virtual machines which has "scsi0:1.writeThrough ="true"in the VMX file. You guys can help me please.

  Of course, try something like this

  $vmName = "VM*"$tgtFolder = "C:\Temp\VMX\"$tgtString = 'scsi0:1.writeThrough = "true"'
  
  Get-VM -Name $vmName | %{  $dsName,$vmxPath = $_.ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName.Split()  $dsName = $dsName.Trim('[]')  $ds = Get-Datastore -Name $dsName  New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name DS -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root "\" | Out-Null  Copy-DatastoreItem -Item "DS:$vmxPath" -Destination $tgtFolder  Remove-PSDrive -Name DS -Confirm:$false}
  
  Get-ChildItem -Path $tgtFolder -Filter "*.vmx" | Where {Get-Content -Path $_.FullName | Select-String -Pattern $tgtString} |Select Name
  

  It displays the name of each VMX file in which the string "scsi0:1.writeThrough =" True "" is located.

• PowerCLI script to check the setting of syslog on a whole cluster?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm looking for a way to check the setting configured for syslog remote on a large cluster of ESXi. Is it possible to easily check by cluster?

  Thanks in advance,

  The following PowerCLI script will give you the servers remote syslog for all hosts in a cluster:

  Get-Cluster "MyCluster" | Get-VMHost | ForEach-Object {
    $VMhost = $_
    $VMHost | Get-VMHostSysLogServer | ForEach-Object {
      $Report = "" | Select-Object -Property VMHost,SyslogServer,Port
      $Report.VMHost = $VMhost.Name
      $Report.SyslogServer = $_.Host
      $Report.Port = $_.Port
      $Report
    }
  }

• Script to check the version of Cisco VEM on ESXi host

  Hallo,

  I need help, a script to check and report in a CSV file, the version of Cisco Nexus 1000v VEM on all ESXi hosts connected to a vCenter.

  Basically, "vem version - v" but for all the ESXi hosts connected to a vCenter.

  Thank you

  Joseph

  I suspect you could use PowerShell v1, in this version that the Export-Csv has not had the UseCulture parameter.

  Try to run the script without this parameter.

  But I would strongly suggest to upgrade your version of PowerShell (v3 is available)

• Script to check how the host in the domain and add it to domain

  Hi all

  AM face to face strange question as some or little my esxi host is out and it will be difficult to connect and run to another regular activity.

  Is there a script that can check together how esxi host are out of area and another script that can add back to the domain.

  Thank you in advance for a ton

  Hello.

  This little script will check all your hosts domain name, if none it will put the hostname to out.txt file to the current folder:

  $hostnet = Get-VMHost |Get-VMHostNetwork
     $hostnet |foreach{
     if (!$_.DomainName)
      {
      $_.HostName|out-file .\out.txt
      }
  
     }
  

  Second scenario takes the output generated by the first and adds the domain name of your choice to the host. It will ask you confirmation.

  $nodomainhost = Get-Content .\out.txt
  $domain = "your.domain"
  $nodomainhost|foreach {
  Set-VMHostNetwork -HostName $_ -DomainName "$domain" -Confirm:$true
  }
  

• Cannot install flash player, download run script error: could not set correctly - undefined reference innerHTML or zero

  Unable to download/install Flash Player, download script error: cannot properly set innerHTML reference undefined or null

  Hello

  The script error is caused by the DPI setting on your system.  If the DPI setting is set to 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% Setup returns the script error. If your DPI setting is set to something else, please set it to one of these and Setup online should work.  To check/change the DPI setting:

  1. Start the control panel and go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display
  2. In the left menu, select set size custom text (PPP)
  3. In the Windows Setup custom DPI select 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% in the menu drop-down
  4. Click OK
  5. Select apply
  6. Open a session/disable
  7. Online installer should now run without displaying the script error.

  A fix for this should be released in the coming weeks.

• You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI?

  You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI? How?

  SAs desire a lead time of 10 seconds through the virtual company composed of several VCs with multiple data centers and clusters.

  Known: we can edit the .vmx file and add: bios.bootDelay = "10000" this adds stunted ms 10000 (10 seconds) when starting

  Known: we may have to re-register or some other mechanism to apply the changes to the start on the VMS settings

  Has anyone tried to make a change of large company to bootDelay on VMS? Any help?

  The script below will do what you want. Have fun.

• By script of the vmx file changes?

  I have a number of existing VMs that I want to add some advanced configuration settings. Instead of using the GUI to add the values, I would like to automate the process. My plan is to write a script that turns off the virtual machine and adds the new values (isolation.tools.x or isolation.device.x) in the vmx files. Is - this safe/advisable to do so via a script? Someone at - it an example of existing script, they would be willing to share?

  If you want to do with just the VI Toolkit itself, then you will need to do something like this

  $vm = get - View (Get - VM NameofVMtoUpdate) USER.USER
  $vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.optionvalue
  $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig [0]. "Key ="lefthandsideofentry"
  $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig [0]. ' Value ='rigthhandsideofentry + '.
  $vm. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)

  Where

  • NameofVMtoUpdate is the name of the virtual machine that you want to update (from the vCenter inventory)

  • lefthandsideofentry is the entrance of advanced configuration, that you want to set

  • rigthhandsideofentry is the value of the advanced configuration entry

  As an alternative some of these people who hang out on the VI Toolkit region have implemented a set of Powershell extensions for the VI toolkit available from CodePlex (http://www.codeplex.com/vitoolkitextensions). Game-TkeVmx will allow you to set values (essentially the same code as above just rolled into a function to keep your code cleaner)

• PowerCLi script to check if 2 virtual machines are on the same host

  Hello

  I'm nubby on PowerCLI and I would like to help in the construction of a script.

  The script should check if two virtual machines (named test1 and test2) are running on the same host in a vCenter and send a notification (email), if they do.

  Something similar with affinity / anti-affinite DRS rules (but not through the DRS enabled on vCenter).  My focus is on the affinity. In case this happens, I need vMotion one of them on an another ESXi host(manually or automated).

  What I have done until now is the following:

  Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. "(ExtensionData.CLient.ServiceUrl.Split('/') [2]}}, '"

  @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | `

  Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation C:\Scripts\file.csv

  That becomes all the VMS and export a CSV file information:

  Name	Cluster	ESX host	vCenter	Data store
  test2	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  Test1	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  For1.local	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM1.local	cluster_test2	ESXi_test2	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM2.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM31.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1

  Thank you.

  Try like this.

  $tgtVM = "test1", "test2".

  Get-VM-name $tgtVM | Group-object - property VMHost | %{

  if($_.) County - gt 1) {}

  $vm = $_. Group | Get-Random

  $esx = $vm. VMHost

  $tgtEsx = get-Cluster - $vm VM | Get-VMHost | where {$_.} Name - not $esx. Name} | Get-Random

  Move-VM - $vm - Destination $tgtEsx VM - confirm: $false

  }

  }

• Script to change vmx file

  The following script provided by vmware in KB2092807 is stuck in a loop.  After connecting to the viserver, I'll run the following:

  ForEach ($vm in (Get - VM)) {}

  $vmv = get - VM $vm | Get-View

  $name = $vmv. Name

  $guestid = $vmv. Summary.Config.GuestId

  $state = $vmv. Summary.Runtime.PowerState

  $vmx = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $vmx.extraConfig += new-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue

  $vmx.extraConfig [0] .key = "monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC."

  $vmx.extraConfig [0] .value = 'TRUE '.

  If ($guestid - like ' windows8 * Guest ') {}

  ($vmv). ReconfigVM_Task ($vmx)

  If ($state - eq "receptor") {}

  $vmv. MigrateVM_Task ($null, $_.) Runtime.Host, 'highPriority', $null)

  }

  }

  }

  
  

  
  

  But the above script get into a loop and vcenter taskbar will show «Reconfigure the machine virtual vmname finished...» «and «Migrate machine virtual vmname finished...» "these messages will repeat until I have cancel the script.  Note that even if the message indicates the virtual computer to migrate the virtual machine is migrated nto.

  
  

  PowerCLI console displays the message "Type: value task: task-1711391" this message will keep scrolling by with the incrementing value by one each time until I have cancel the script. ""

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Bonus question, will of the vmx changes made with this script to apply to the virtual machine without turning off due to migration?

  
  

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  However, this script seems correct.

  You may display the name of the virtual machine to the screen inside the loop, what'd you give an idea if it's a loop on the same VM.

  Advanced settings can be applied even if a virtual machine is running.

  The vMotion creates a new VMX file, which is recharged and therefore changes must be picked up.

  See William post called a kitten is also bad, whenever you change a VMX by hand file

• Using Script to check the version of Adobe Reader software

  Hello. I am now currently using LiveCycle Designer to create a form that allows users to attach attachments. We found that if a user uses Adobe Reader 7.0 or below, there is a problem on fixing attachments. Accordingly, we would like to add a script to check the version of the Adobe Reader client in a ready state of the form. If a user uses Adobe 7.0 or below, the message box opens and suggests the user to download a more recent version of the Adobe Reader software. I would like to know is possible to do so. Thank you very much

  Hello

  the script might look like:

  If (typeof (app.viewerVersion)! = "undefined")

  If (app.viewerVersion<>

  {

  xfa.host.messageBox ("your Version of Adobe Reader is old...");

  }

  }

  You can use it in the docReady:Event of your form to inform users.
