Hi all,
I need to import vSphere Tags from a csv into my vCenter and apply this to relevant VM's.
Not all VM's should have tags assigned, some should have all tags. The script is applying the latest assigned Tag to the following VM's who are missing have not a Tag specified in the CSV. Please see below for example.
The script is taken from: http://www.virtu-al.net/2014/11/13/automating-tags-tag-category-creation-assignment-powercli/
Example:
This is the CSV. The CostCenter "120" will get applied to the VM's under it who are missing the CostCenter Tag info. In this case the bold marked VM's will incorrectly get the CostCenter 120 Tag.
Name,SystemOwner,CostCenter,BackupJob
test-vm6,BB,200,backup-Daily
test-vm5,PB,1,backup-Daily
test-srv2,,220,
test-vm3,,200,Backup-weekly
test-vm4,,210,Backup-testing
av-srv2,,666,
test-vm1,,120,
test-srv1,,,
2012-tpl,,,Backup-manual
vcenter-01,,,
I could just add some dummy info like NoCostCenter, NoBackup, NoOwner to these VM's. But if there is another way it would be great.
Thank you in advance.

Script isn't accounting for empty tags. Using the script from the original reference, change this line (on or around line 21):
$cmdbinfo | Where {$_.($Name) -eq $Tag} | Foreach {
to:
$cmdbinfo | Where {($tag) -and ($_.($Name) -eq $Tag)} | Foreach {
and see what you get.

That was it!
