Hello all,
I put together this script to add a newly created VM from a template to our domain but I"m getting an error at the Invoke-VMScript line. Can you review and let me know what I might be doing wrong?
My Script is:
Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Scope Session
Connect-VIServer vc-server.mydomain.com
$domainName = "mydomain"
$password = "mypassword"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $securepassword -AsPlainText -Force
$username = "$domainName\myloginid"
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
Invoke-VMScript -VM guestname -GuestUser admin -GuestPassword localpw -ScriptType Powershell -ScriptText "Add-Computer -ComputerName vmname -Credential $cred -Restart -Force" -Verbose
The error I get is:
Invoke-VMScript -VM vmname -GuestUser admin -GuestPassword localpw -ScriptType Powershell -ScriptText "Add-Computer -ComputerName vmname -Credential $cred -Restart -Force" -Verbose
