Add multiple vms to a running script

[athurston]

Hi All,

This script below works fine

$vmtest = Get-vm "vmname" | get-view

$vmConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

$vmConfigSpec.changeTrackingEnabled = $true

$vmtest.reconfigVM($vmConfigSpec)

how can i pass a list of virtual machines in a text file c:\vms.txt to this script?

Thanks

Alex

I assume your TXT file has a vmname on each line, then you could do something like this

$vmConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
$vmConfigSpec.changeTrackingEnabled = $true

Get-Content c:\vms.txt | %{
  $vmtest = Get-vm -Name $_
  $vmtest.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($vmConfigSpec)
}
