# Connect to vCenter Server
Connect-VIServer -Server "vcsa6.mylab.local" -User "Administrator@vsphere.local" -Password "Welcome@xxx"
# Import the CSV file containing the VM specifications and domain information
$csv = Import-Csv "C:\Users\raj\Desktop\Vmdeployment automation\input.csv"
# Loop through each row in the CSV file and create a VM
foreach ($row in $csv)
{
$vmName = $row.VMname
$esxiHost = $row.esxihost
$cpu = $row.cpu
$memory = $row.memory
$datastore = $row.datastore
$vmFolder = $row.vmfolder
$ipv4Address = $row.ipaddress
$subnetMask = $row.subnetmask
$gateway = $row.gateway
$pdns = $row.pdns
$sdns = $row.sdns
$template = $row.template
$domainName = $row.domainname
$domainUser = $row.domainuser
$domainPassword = $row.domainpassword
$adminPassword = $row.adminpassword
# Create the new VM from the template
$vm = New-VM -Name $vmName -Template $template -VMHost $esxiHost -Datastore $datastore -Location $vmFolder -Confirm:$false -RunAsync
$vm = Wait-Task $vm
# Power on the new VM
Start-VM -VM $vm -Confirm:$false -RunAsync
# Wait for the VM to power on
do {
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
} until ((Get-VM -Name $vmName).PowerState -eq "PoweredOn")
Write-Host "$vmName is now powered on."
# Set the number of CPUs and memory for the new VM
Set-VM -VM $vmName -NumCpu $cpu -MemoryGB $memory -Confirm:$false
}
