Running automated scripts with stored credentials or integrated authentication

[Shocko]

Hi guys, I've a bunch of scripts that I have written and wish to have them run automatically but the issue I'm facing is they all use the connect-viserver cmdlet. The scripts all run under an account that has the requisite privileges on the vCentre instances monitored. How to bypass the prompt for credentials with this cmdlet?

One option is to use the VICredentialStore, see New-VICredentialStoreItem and Get-VICredentialStoreItem

Note that you have to create the entries in there under the same account that you will use to run the automated scripts.
