VM IP Address changing from a list

Hi all

I tried using PowerCLI to edit addresses IP of VM to a list in a text file.  I recently learned about the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and tried to use it rather than possibly to perform this task with the cmdlet Get - WMI win32_networkadapterconfiguration and active the EnableStatic method.  I tried the following script:

$b = get - VM | %{

foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
Write-output $nic. Ip_address}
}

$a = get-content c:\scripts\IPaddress.txt

for ($i = 0; $i - lt $$a.count; $i ++) {}

$sm = "X.X.X.X"
$dg = "X.X.X.X"

Invoke-VMScript - VM $b [$i] - ScriptText "c:\windows\system32\netsh.exe interface ip set address".

name = '"connection to the Local network' ' static $a [$i] $sm $dg 1 'bat - ScriptType.

}

$b is the list of virtual machines on the host and their IP addresses would be replaced by $a, which lists the new IP addresses generated before hand.  I used $i as the loop to stop the script when it reaches the end of list $a as well as the table number corresponding to a virtual computer with each new IP address.  If ideally in my head it would work like this: $i starts at 0 which is the first line of these two variables $b and $a, change a VM with the first IP in the list, increase $i by 1, loop back and repeat with the next VM and address until the end.

Error message when you run the script, I got is:

Invoke VMScript found Virtual Machine with the name "X.X.X.X".

Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways who can change IP of VM addresses in a list with all the other functions.

Best regards

The $b variable contains the IP addresses of all the network adapters on your guests.

Unless your guests are also registered with the IP address, PowerCLI will not be able to find the virtual machine.

You must use the Name property.

The 2nd problem is that the IPaddress.txt file must have a column showing to what VM and what NETWORK card is the new IP address.

It would be easier if you use a CSV file with a layout like this

VM, NICname, IPaddr

VM1, 1,192.168.1.1 Local network connection

VM2, Local 1,192.168.1.2 network connection

Note that there is also the Set-VMGuestNetworkInterface cmdlet, which is actually a script provided by the Dev PowerCLI team, that is passed to the operating system of the client through the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet. It uses the same command, netsh, you use.

Your script could become something like this, if you use a CSV input as I explained above.

$esxCred = get-Credential-Credential 'ESX host user '.

$sm = "X.X.X.X"

$dg = "X.X.X.X"

{foreach ($line in Import-Csv c:\scripts\IPaddress.csv)

$vmCred = get-CRedential-Credential ("the BONE of the VM user to" + $line.) VM)

Get-VM-name $line. VM | Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface - HostCredentials $esxCred - GuestCredentials $vmCred | `

where {$_.} Name - eq $line. NICname} | `

Game-VMGuestNetworkInterface - Ip $line. IPaddr - Netmask $sm - $dg - HostCredentials $esxCred - GuestCredentials $vmCred Gateway

}

Note that this presupposes that all the VM are on the hosts that can use the same credentials to host.

  • How to change the address in the email list

    I have a list of classmates under the same heading in the e-mail addresses. I need to modify this list. How to do this? Thank you

    To open the dialog box change a mailing list or double-click the folder in the list, or select the folder in the list and select Properties.

    You can add contacts to a list by selecting the contact or contacts and dragging them to the folder from the list and dropping them there.

    To select several contacts hold CTRL while clicking on them. Once you have them all chosen click and hold one of the contacts selected and let them drag the folder and drop.

    Hello
    I am from Sweden and I have problems with a Web site that has my Union. I could see messages from them before, but they changed their address and on the site, they say people that they must put the new address on the approved list of the pop-up windows. I did but it still does not. Maybe I did wrong, I don't know, but it's annoying as hell that I can't see the messages they send.

    I really need help with that.

    You can control and manage permissions for all areas on the Subject: authorizations page.

    You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" from the context menu of the history entry (see the history or the history sidebar) or via the subject: permissions page.

    Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from this area you don't want to lose so take note of these passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from which "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • How can I transfer my address book from Thunderbird to another running Thunderbird computer and combine the old and the new list into one?

    I have a computer in my summer residence and one to my winter home. They both run Thunderbird for my emails. When I move one residence for others, I want to update my address book Thunderbird. I do it by selecting - address book - tools - export, on the ' old computer ', store them on a memory stick, and paste _ address book - tools - import, the new address to load the list from memory. It works, except that the address of old and new lists are separate lists. I would like to combine them, but without the duplication of the same addresses. Is this possible? How can I do this?

  • Hello. Is it possible to remove a web site from the list "most visited"? If so, how?

    I doubt, there is a way to do it, but I would like to know for sure. I connect to Gmail very often, so of course, it appears in the list of "most visited". Although he is usually a convenience for people to reach a web site visited often faster, I want is not to appear there. It's not favorite, where you must choose to save a site, so I doubt that there is a solution. If I had used "Private browsing" in the first place, this may have prevented my problem, but I didn't know we could go private until today. Thank you.

    If it's a bookmark, then you need to reset the counter for this bookmark.
    You can make the column number of visible in the bookmarks (library) via the menu Manager ' views > columns.

    • "Most Visited" and "Recently set bookmark" and "Recent Tags" are examples of what is called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not the real existing folders.
    • Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and history in Firefox.
    • Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    • Bookmarks and history items that appear in a list of smart folder are also stored in another file, and any changes are applied to the element of bookmark or true story.
    • If you delete an entry then the list is shifted upward and an entry that was not previously identified is added to show the 10 entries.
    • If you add a new bookmark or visit a Web site, then a new element is added at the top and disappears from the entrance at the bottom of this list.
    • Objects but that disappear from the list have not disappeared, just not more appear in this list.
    • Actions such as copy & paste, or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list is made on the original bookmark.

    The personal book and collected books are the books of two default cannot be deleted, and suggested DO NOT rename them.

    When you select this option to add a contact to an address book by clicking the star next to the address it will add to the personal address book. You can click on the star again to open the dialog box modify and change to place the contact in the address book.

    The collected book collects addresses for outgoing messages.

    There is no function by default to collect addresses of incoming e-mail.

    Just to keep the terminology straight, Thunderbird has address books and mailing lists.
    You can create new address books in the address book window by selecting file-new-address book.

    You can create mailing lists within address books to use for distribution groups. The contact must exist in the address book where the mailing list is created to be added to the list. You create a mailing list by clicking on the button new list.

  • I can't uninstall Thunderbird to my Windows programs "Uninstall list"; Why does not uninstall and be removed from this list?

    Very frustrating... under windows ' programs/uninstall a program "list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER that I have removed completely (I thought) from my computer. I clicked on 'uninstall' several times and nothing happens. I can't take the fact that Mozilla has set it up so that it can apparently be deleted from this list... What is everything? I tried to research the problem, even by using your Web site without success. All what I want to do is get out of my list to uninstall/change. I used this program AND will not use it. I don't want this program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

    It is a problem with the management of Windows applications. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the installation/uninstallation process.

    You could re - install Thunderbird so re-synchronization of the list of applications, then uninstall again, or you could use a utility to remove from the list.

    A search of thunderbird.exe will confirm whether or not it was really deleted, but you may need to disable all the fool-proofing that implement Microsoft for not to see the true state of the file system; Configure to display hidden files and the extensions of file to start.

    Thunderbird is almost independent. You are free to delete manually the folder that the application resides in if Windows fails to uninstall it for you, but that will not solve the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

  • Import an address book from .csv will not work

    I just changed from XP to Ubuntu and have saved my Outlook Express address book to a .csv on a USB flash drive file. I open Thunderbird and imported the file according to the different screens and although Thunderbird says it's successful, when I select the address book, it is empty as well as the default personal address book. Can anyone help please.

    The choice referred to as view/display as long as are first name, full name name. If the imported address book contained only in the field of the display (which is usually first + last), address book appears empty if display/display name as is not set display name.

    If the menu bar is hidden, you can also right click on the toolbar and select the menu bar.

    The easy way to transfer to OE/XP TB/Ubuntu would have been to install TB on the XP computer, make automatic importation of OE, then copy the TB profile from XP to Ubuntu. But if you have even the XP computer or the partition, you will always find may be easier to export from OE messages to eml files and import those TB, rather than convert dbx in a format compatible with TB files.
