Hopefully I'm posting this in the correct forum since I'm using PS to make these SDK calls. If I'm in the wrong place mod please move this thread.
I've spent multiple days figuring out if there is any way to automate VI4 VUM scanning and remediation with not alot of success. I realize the PS cmdlets are not there anymore in PowerCLI, the old versions don't work against VI4, etc.... However, I did run across the SDK documentation and am playing around with performing the scheduled task creation for simple scan and remediate tasks. I have successfully created a scan task and it is getting kicked off - but stays at the "Queued" status for the task in VC and I get the following errors from hostd.log on the ESX server (3.5U4):
2010-02-09 20:54:44.989 'PropertyCollector' 85945264 warning GetPropertyProvider failed for haTask-ha-host-vim.host.FirewallSystem.enableRuleset-111151

LucD, I found a PS script you referenced the SDK for to PowerOn a VM, I've modified for my use and here it is:
$esxview = Get-View (Get-VMHost host.hello.com).ID
$cta = New-Object VMware.Vim.CreateTaskAction
$cta.Cancelable = $true
$cta.TaskTypeId = "com.vmware.vcIntegrity.ScanTask"
$dTScheduler = New-Object VMware.Vim.DailyTaskScheduler
$dTScheduler.Hour = 01
$dTScheduler.Minute = 01
$dTScheduler.Interval = 1
$tSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec
$tSpec.Action = $cta
$tSpec.Description = "Scan this test Host."
$tSpec.Enabled = $true
$tSpec.Name = "VUM Scan Automated"
$tSpec.Notification = "hi@hello.com"
$tSpec.Scheduler = $dTScheduler
$svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
$svcRef.Type = "ServiceInstance"
$svcRef.Value = "ServiceInstance"
$serviceInstance = get-view $svcRef
$stMgr = Get-View ($serviceInstance.Content.ScheduledTaskManager)
$stMgr.CreateScheduledTask($esxview.MoRef,$tSpec)
Thanks for any help anyone can offer me. Alternatively, if anyone has figured out the syntax of vmware-vcicli that comes with VI4 VUM, can you please share that with me? I have been able to perform several functions with it, but I keep getting errors when trying the --stage and --remediate options which is what I really need.
