Why everyone says "Add - PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core"?

Every thread I've read says you have to set the "Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core" at the top of any script or commands if you want to run PowerShell (and not PowerCLI).

However, when I add my script, PowerShell (2.0) will continue on and run the script, but he's going to throw me a beautiful big red alert (I guess this isn't a mistake, because the script runs in the end), by saying that "VMware.VimAutomation.Core" is already included and therefore cannot be added again.

I have never anything to set up or change PowerShell, ever.  In fact, it's only as day 2 of using PowerShell.  It is therefore in its straight-out-of-the-box condition.  Yet all the forums I'll just goes on and on the way in which this is necessary and other things.  I was wondering, what gives?  What is the history/explanation here?  Should I just sort of Monster mutant version of PowerShell?

Add to ensure that it is responsible in case it is not. Some applications (e.g., PowerGUI) allow you to load the snap-ins by default by removing the need to add to each script. If you do not add it to your scripts and it is not loaded and you attempt to run commands PowerCLI operations fail because orders will not be know. People consider it generally a best practice to include the snap at the beginning of scripts is easier to transport.

    I check a few posts with people who have the same problem but I can't find the solution.

    I need but a joker?

    Thank you very much

    You can add a name of file datetime stamp. Like this

    $alarmas | out-file "C:\ReportesvCENTER\Vcenter_report-$(Get-Date-f yyyyMMdd-hhmm)-$fecha.txt.

    You can avoid the PSSnapin error using Try-Catch construction, that I gave earlier.

    Have you really tried that?

    Everything simply jump beyond the error is not good because it is impossible to find the following commands:

    The term 'Get - VM' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or an executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path has been included, make sure the path is correct, and then try again.

    Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    OK, I was kind of what went wrong here.

    The snap has been loaded from a powershell module. When the module is removed and added again, the snap ceases to function, but also can not be added again.

    If the snap is loaded first outside the module everything works fine until you try never to remove or add snap-in module.

  • My MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Mid2010 allows 16 GB of RAM? Why Apple says maximum 8 GB?

    According to this StackExchange and Mactracker app, my computer can support 16 GB of RAM. If so, why Apple says a maximum of 8 GB? You have a computer of mid-2010, like mine set at level to 16 GB using the latest Mac OS?

    My problem is that the two chips of RAM 8 GB I got from Newegg does not 'click' when I tried inserting them (unlike the instructions), and trying to start I got a beep with standby-led which repeats after a few seconds, showing apparently no RAM installed.

    It seems to me that either I don't push it far enough (not likely because I don't think that it could be pushed further in all), the chips do not work (I tried my best to often touch the metal parts to avoid electrostatic discharge and avoid touching anything other than the sides with semicircular notches) , or the computer is not grateful.

    Is it important that the sticker on the Newegg RAM and the sticker on my RAM from Apple factory-installed are on opposite sides? The brand matter? Should I worry that there seems to be some kind of residue (as you can see when a sticker is removed) on a small part of the bottom-left of 'block' on the underside of each Newegg RAM chip? (This residue, as well as the sticker on the opposite side, I wonder if a sticker has been removed by a new, was placed on it, as if it is being sold as new RAM.) Is significant to the final number, '1066 MHz 151031', ' 1066 MHz 150930' on the Newegg RAM "Warranty void if removed" sticker, or to the plant (or seller) identify the chip?

    I enclose photographs showing the residue on the back of the Newegg RAM.

    Do you think that this residue is responsible for the MacBook Pro of declaration that there is no RAM installed? Is - this evidence is that the seller has removed a sticker?

  • When I select a number in bulk labels, I can't select 'delete '. It just says: 'add a tag (color) '.

    Hi, I wonder how is it that when I select a small number of files to UNTAG, I am able to select 'remove tag' whereas if I choose a large number of tags, it doesn't have the ability to remove the tag of these files?

    Above, I can remove the grey tag of these videos. However...

    It just says: 'Add a Tag 'Gray' ' if I select a larger number of files.

    This is the kind of trivial, but I wonder why it's like that, and if there is a way to fix it.

    Thank you!

    FWIW, the background display, it looks that all tags are assigned to one or several files. Try clicking on the word "Tags"... "and see what he says.

  • vCO with Powershell and causing VMware.VimAutomation.Extensions to workflows to hang

    Environment:

    vSphere Version: 5.5

    vCO Version: 5.5.0 build 1281930

    PowerShell Plugin: PowerShell 1.0.3.304


    I have successfully instantiated several Powershell commands in by vCO in the past, including commands PowerCLI. However, when I use the

    "import-module VMware.VimAutomation.Extensions.

    command, the workflow seems to stop. I need this module in order to obtain information of vSAN.


    I know that the module is supposed to be implicitly imported without the need of the declaration when running in a PowerShell command prompt, but I've also had instances where I know that the line is necessary, especially when a Powershell script requires that the module is called from the command line.


    It seems to be the case here because removing the line causes an error "unknown cmdlet", when it tries to parse the command "Get-VsanDiskGroup".




    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  • Why would you add paths to a jpeg file?

    Hello world!

    I use Ps and for a few years now as a hobby so I'm a bit able to find my way around it.

    Now for the question:

    Why would you add paths to a jpeg file?

    In addition why divide it into several paths? I have a vague memory of beeing paths able to for example make a transparent background in IE illustrator. Is it possible it?

    My reason for asking is that I work as a Digitalprinter operator and we have a client who wants that hide us objects in the images and also in som cases separated by paths.


    I reduced the example we obtained the client and added a link below hopfully someone can open it in Ps and explain why you would do that.

    Dropbox - paths


    Thank you for your time.


    Looks like that have already made separate paths each object by its color, shape, set highlight and shadow and maybe even the (rather difficult to say) basic coverage

    So, in this example, I would say it would create selections for separation into layers.

    Technically Yes in this case it would save space on disk and bandwidth on the net. But, it's still a jpg file and whenever it gets published, it loses data. My recommendation when you receive a picture like this, is so quickly save it in psd or tiff and use these paths to separate the parts of the image in layers to make it as easy on yourself as possible. Do your work on the psd or tiff image.

  • VMware Tools Core Service crashes when monitor_control.restrict_backdoor is enabled

    Installation program:

    VMware Workstation 7.0.1 build 227600

    Host: Vista x 64

    Comments: XP x 32 SP3

    monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'TRUE '.

    VMware Tools Core Service blocks all the minutes. Installation of comments is a new clean install with VMware tools installed.

    Looks like a problem of VMware tools on XP because it works fine with Vista as guest OS.

    Is there a fix for this bug?

    Mash says:

    It's strange because VMware Workstation still tells me to install VMware Tools when this setting is enabled.

    You must ignore it.  The monitor_control.restrict_backdoor option is not supported and can lead to inconsistencies.  I recommend that you not install VMware Tools in a virtual machine that uses this option.

  • VMware Tools Core Service has stopped working

    Until I installed Mavericks one a few days ago, my MacBook Pro OS x 10.6.8 and was very happy merger 3.x.x running with a guest of Windows 7 Professional.

    After installation of Mavericks, I downloaded and installed the 6.01 merger. He "upgraded" my existing comments.

    Since then, he threw several times the error message "VMware Tools Core Service has stopped working".

    I uninstalled and reinstalled several times VMware tools. I ticked the box "prevent the NAP app." I have restored the old guest VM from a backup and it opens again.

    I can restart the service (using Windows 7 services Manager), but it runs for awhile then throws the same error.

    I've included dumpsters of screen of the info box - he appoints MSVCR90.dll as module faults. Out of curiosity, I looked at the control panel / uninstall programs screen and saw that that day, I installed Fusion 6.01, an instance of the 2008 C++ Runtime Redistributable x 64 has been installed (there are several other flavors of the VC ++ redistributable installed too: 2005/2008/2010, some x 86 and some x 64.)

    Thank you for any advice on how I can solve this problem.
