Running a script just once inside VM OS after VM is recovered at failover site

[alfar]

Hi all,

Inside all my VMs I have a script c:\foo.bat.

I want to run this script just once after the VM comes up during a SRM initiated DR test or a DR event.

What is the most elegant way to achieve this? Looking for specifics...

Regards

What versions of Windows do you have in your environment?

Windows 2003 32-bit standard

Then you can use VMware PowerCLI to do that.

This is cmdlet called Invoke-VMScript. It can be used to run exe, batch file or powershell script inside VM. It doesn't require network connectivity, since it uses VMtools to run the script.
