Set the permission on a stand-alone host failed with the script that I made

I made a script to set the permissions on our ESX host.

The goal is to set the permissions on the host itself. The same permissions when connect directly with the vsphere client to the host.

The problem is that after running the script, that the permissions are not set to hostlevel. They are only vissible connecting to the virtual Center Server.

This is my script:

#$esxCred = Get-Credential
$vcServer = read-host "Virtual center server: "
$vcServer =  $vcServer.Trim();
$cluster = read-host "Clustername "
$cluster = $cluster.Trim()
write-output "Credentials for ESX hosts "
$esxcred = get-credential

#Connect to vCenter
Connect-VIServer $vcServer | Out-Null

#Connect to ESX hosts in cluster
foreach ($esx in Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VMHost) {
 write-output $esx
 Connect-VIServer $esx -Credential $esxCred | Out-Null
 New-VIPermission -Entity $esx -Principal '<DOMAINNAME>\ESX Admins' -Role NoAccess
 }

#Disconnect from vCenter
Disconnect-VIServer $vcServer -Confirm:$false | Out-Null


Does anyone know why the permissions are not set on hostlevel?

When I run the New VIPermission when connecting to the esx host, it works well...

Hello

In order to operate, you need to replace:

New-VIPermission-body $esx - Principal 'BUSINESS\ESX Admins"- role NoAccess-Server $esxConnect

With:

New-VIPermission-entity $esx. Name - main 'BUSINESS\ESX Admins"- role NoAccess-Server $esxConnect

It is not good to work with objects, comes from a single connection and use directly, as part of another connection (relay something like ToString() + OBN will happen).

Kind regards

  • Don't ' option UPGRADE available after failure ESXi 6.0 on a stand-alone host installation

    Dear all, I have a stand-alone host ESXi 5.0 that I tried to install 6.0 on. Installation failed due to missing NIC card r8168 drivers. in any case, I've created a new ISO using ESXi Customizer utility and ready to do it again once the installation of the new ISO standard. The problem now is that there is no 'upgrade' option available when I try to update, I get only the options 'Install' which will eliminate the existing configs etc completely. In summary: the host is still working fine and no problem with it. The issue is that ESXi 6.0 Installer based no existing ESXi installation on the host computer and suggest an installation instead of an upgrade option, what happened after a few failed attempts to run the upgrade. I found this page on this forum https://communities.vmware.com/thread/445526?start=0 & tstart = 0 that says that the solution is to move the directory to a local.tgz (in altbootbank/state.xxxxx/) more high. I don't have any idea how to do this. Appreciate any help on which program use and what commands to run in order to ensure that the old installation is reviewed by the ESXi 6.0 installation program. Thanks, Abid

    I managed to PASS my from5.0 host existing 6.0. To solve the problem, I had, I started the ESXi, authenticated and then checked the contents of the directories shell both Bootbank that Altbootbank by using the ls command. Altbootbank was empty. Then I copied all the files from /bootbank to /altbootbank using the cp command and then I could see the 'upgrade' again option for which I had posted this question. Installation was simple using the custom profile that I created using ESXI Customizer. Thanks for your help anyway, I'll close this issue now. Best regards, Abid

  • Patching stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1

    I need assistance with patch 4.1 ESXi stand-alone hosts.  Is it possible to stage patches?  They can be downloaded and copied ot the host first?  I have to do it via a WAN connection and want to copy the patches before correction of the host. I need also some of the commands necessary to achieve this.  I'm not very good with the command/syntax of command line.  Any help is greatly apprecieated.

    You can stage patches if you are using vCenter Update Manager.  If you do not use vCenter you could

    (1) copy the patch into a local data store on the host

    (2) run the following cmdlet to PowerCLI - install -VMHostPatch -HostPath vmfs/volumes //.

  • How to create a virtual machine on a stand-alone host?

    Hello

    as you know others my son, I created a workflow to create several identical virtual machines on a cluster.

    Since we do not only have clustered hosts, but also some autonomous machines, I need to modify the workflow to be able to create virtual machines on these hosts.

    The main stage of the workflow is obviously one that creates virtual machines.

    It is derived from one of the supplied workflow within the Orchestrator library, but in the end, there is not much difference.

    The original workflow uses this method to create a virtual machine:

    task = vmFolder.createVM_Task( configSpec, vmResourcePool, vmHost );
    

    I've omitted vmHost in my workflow, because I did not want the user to select the host in the Cluster.

    So my execution of the method looks like this:

    task = vmFolder.createVM_Task( configSpec, vmCluster.resourcePool);
    

    Now, I tried to get this method to create a virtual computer on a stand-alone host, but everything I tried, he failed.

    Does anyone have a solution or a trick, what I might try to make this work?

    Thank you very much

    Andreas

    I just installed the offline version of Adobe Story, but I am really intrigued by the product. The major problem is that there is no way to set the script language. I have several scripts - in various languages - I'd like to load up on Adobe Story, but it seems that she only accepts English. Before can connect you, there is the possibility to choose the language of the INTERFACE, but not the script. Please note that there is no logical link between the language used for the interface of an application (I always put interfaces of applications in English otherwise it's a mess to present a trouble ticket) and the language of the documents created by this request. I can create several documents in different languages in the same session, for example. Also, I could have more than one language in the same script, especially for dialog boxes.

    Plug the AP directly on your PC not the router.

    The best way to proceed is to comfort in the AP and make sure that the

    AP can reach the laptop via a switch or a crossover cable

    fixing directly from the laptop and the AP.

    With your cable from the console, you will be able to see if you pressed on the

    I have an Executive Test that is run on two different test systems. Each stand has another card ARINC429. The old card use 429dll32.lib, while the most recent map use pci429.lib.

When I click 'OK' to create the executable I have several link errors, one for each function both .lib files have in common.

    Is it possible for each of these .lib files to be included in the compilation without having to create two separate executables?

  • Help with a script that detects the content in a cell and apply the cell style to line

    Hello


    I am trying to add an article to my table formatting script that is a cell with the word 'Budget' (but this can be written as ' Budget:' or ' Budget: (E) "- but without the speech marks) and apply the cell Style - SponsorCells - to all the cells of the whole line. I currently have on what it will, but it does not work:


    function checkWhichTable()
    {
    // ensure the user made a selection
    if (app.selection.length != 1)
    return null;
    var currentTable = app.selection[0];
    if (currentTable.hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
    {
    currentTable = app.selection[0].parent;
    }
    while (currentTable instanceof Cell || currentTable instanceof Row || currentTable instanceof Column)
    currentTable = currentTable.parent;
    if (!(currentTable instanceof Table))
    {
    // No table selected
    return null;
    }
    return currentTable;
    }
    app.doScript(checkUserSelection, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Process Table");
    
    
    function checkUserSelection ()
    {
    var a_table = checkWhichTable();
    if (a_table == null)
    {
    if (confirm("No table selected. Do you want to process *all* tables?") == false)
    return;
    allTables = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
    for (aTable=0; aTable<allTables.length; aTable++)
    {
    processTable (allTables[aTable]);
    }
    } else
    {
    processTable (a_table);
    }
    }
    function processTable(table)
    {
    // do something here!
    
    
    //Set 1st Row Height
    table.rows[0].height = "30mm";
    
    
    //Find Text in Cell and apply Cell Style to Row 
    var  
      myCellText=['Budget', 'Budget:', 'Budget: (E)'];  
     var myRegEx = new RegExp("^("+myCellText.join("|")+")$");
      for (i=0; i<table.cells.length; i++)
      {
        if (table.cells[i].texts[0].contents.match(myRegEx))
          table.cell[i].appliedCellStyle = "SponsorCells";
      }
    
    
    //end - do something here!
    }  
    


    I can get the script to apply the cell style to "SponsorCells" for each cell that contain the word 'Budget' etc, but I need cell ever on this line to have the cell style applied. I tried to re-write line 56 which applies the style to a cell, but I can't seem to make it work. Any help would be great.


    Separate on this issue, I would like to have a line of code similar to the 46 line, which sets the 1st height of lines, but I would like to say "If a cell has 'A cell Style' and then applies the value height 10 mm". If someone could result as a help of bonuses, things would be great double.


    Thanks in advance!

    But that could be painfully slow. To speed things up, follow these steps:

    var cells = table.cells.everyItem().getElements();
    for (var i=0; i
    

    It is faster, because it creates an array of cells with a call to table.cells, which is several times faster than calling table.cells. And before assigning to line 12mm height is useful to check if it is already 12 mm. checking things in InDesign and do things only when it is necessary is much more effective than simply doing things even if they are not necessary.

  • Launched AFTER the script that launches InDesign startup scripts

    Hi all

    I m using a script that, in some cases - when the application is closed-, launch InDesign.

    The problem is that this script uses a variable set in startup, but it s undefined scripts.

    I tried to test (variable == undefined), to protect the script logic, but they almost always have an accident with an "undefined" error (?).

    It seems to be a timing problem between the two scripts that run at the same time.

    You have an idea on how to solve this problem?

    Is it possible to give absolute preference to startup scripts?

    Why does not no comparison undefined?

    Concerning

    If (typeof variable == "undefined") {}

    No variable...

    While restoring the system back to the last points in time, it does not affect the data (just the program and system files and settings)- so it will not help in this situation.

    You may have a previous version on your system (depending on your version of Vista):

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake. http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    I don't know if it can be retrieved by the program that created it (but if he was crushed under a word document, then I fear that the original is lost, unless you can use snapshots as explained above).

    I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's the way Vista works a round trip time of data in the past are not a feature it offers (except as noted above).

    I hope that you have the right version of Vista and you can find the previous version.

  • Help with a script that converts the HTML object text box

    I don't know anything about programming scripts and unfortunately inDesign isn't any panel actions as Photoshop..

    I need a script to convert a text box with HTML code inside a HTML object... I think not, it should be very difficult

    How could be the following:

    (1) select the text box
    (2) cut all text inside
    (3) remove the empty box
    (4) select selection tool
    (5) go to OBJECT/INSERT HTML
    6) paste it into the code before you cut the text box
    (7) OK and close the menu INSERT HTML code

    If the Script works, we could change with HTML code inside a text box to an object HTML (video, card, animations,...)

    The first step could be manually selecting each text box or by selecting all of the boxes that start automatically by "< iFRAME '
