I have a script created by Alan Renouf that discovers who and when a VM was created. (Excellent script btw.. http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12193 ) I have been testing this on my laptop and it runs fine. If I move the script to a server os and install all prereqs, it runs but does not find any on the data. In other words, it will list each VM name but not the Active Directory username or the date the VM was made.
I am running the script under my domain account in both cases. I have access to vCenter and read/write access to AD. At first I thought it was related to security in Server 2008 R2. (I did change the execution policy) But running it on 2003 had the same results.
Since the script can see the VM names and will write "Unknown" to the notes of a VM I don't think it is related to security within vCenter. I am using my account to login and run the script I wouldn't think AD permissions would be the issue either since only Read is really needed. And like I said, it works fine on my laptop. Its just slow and I ultimately want to schedule this to run once a week or so. Since I'm just starting to get my feet wet in PowerCLI & Powershell maybe there is something specific within there that I'm missing.
Can anyone enlighten this dimwit?
Thanks
