[MrVmware9423]

Dear Team,

in the powercli windows if i run the attached health check script  then it prompt to enter vcenter server admin credentials once it reached at (VC Service, VC Error Event Logs, VC Warning Event Logs), Once i entered the credentials then it proceed further and not disconnecting  automatically from vcenter server asking me to press A and generate a report not sending the same on email. my query is y everytime it is asking me to enter a credentials for the same and vcenter session is ending automatically, becase of that i m unable to automate the health check script. Dear team request you to help me on the same.

Mr VMware.

You are trying to run vCheck version 1.0 while there is already a new vCheck version 6.15 that has much more features. You can download this new version from http://www.virtu-al.net/vcheck-pluginsheaders/vcheck/. I would suggest that you try the new version first. If you have problems running the new version then let me know.

The prompt to confirm the disconnect from the vCenter is in the last line.

Change that line to

$VIServer | Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false

and you will not be prompted anymore.

The prompt to provide credentials for the Connect-VIServer can be avoided when you run the script under an account that has priviliges to connect to the vCenter.

See the comment

#### Detail Settings ####
# Set the username of the account with permissions to access the VI Server
# for event logs and service details - you will be asked for the same username and password
# only the first time this runs after setting the below username.
# If it is left blank it will use the credentials of the user who runs the script
$SetUsername = "IFRE9393"

Do you run this under an authorised account ?

If yes, set the $SetUsername to blank.

Btw, we already discussed this before, but you should consider using the latest vCheck version

Dear LucD,

many thanks , if i want to send this report to n number of user then how  to add additonal email id entries ??

regads

Mr VMware

[LucD]

Yes, add additional recipients to the $EmailTo variable, separate them with a semi-column

# Set the Email address to send the email to
$EmailTo = "personal@gmail.com ; wintel@abc.co.in"

[MrVmware9423]

many thanks lucd,

if  additional email ids r specified then it won't email the report just save it on a C:\ drive and how to specify more than one ntp server

That is strange, I can send to multiple recipients.

Did you separate the recipients with a multi-column ?

Are the recipients valied email addresses ?

Sending to multiple SMTP servers would be a bit more tricky I'm afraid.

How would you define which recipients goes via which SMTP server ?

[MrVmware9423]

Dear LucD,

following are the details.

$EmailTo = "personal@gmail.com ; wintel@abc.co.in"

i have mentioned my ntp server ip, but in health check report its giving message like this

For you reference i have attached the script.

For the ntp server problem you should remove the # sign at the beginning of the line:

#$ntpserver = "192.16.7.10"

[MrVmware9423]

Friend i have removed then i have ran the same and getting this error......

[RvdNieuwendijk]

The NTP server IP address in the script is "192.16.7.10". In the screenshot it is "172.16.7.10" Looks like a typo in the script to me.

[MrVmware9423]

yes it's a typo mistake, still same problem sir....

[MrVmware9423]

how to mentioned more than one ntp server setting.

regards

Mr VMware

[LucD]

I assume you mean "how to check for multiple NTP servers" ?

[RvdNieuwendijk]

You can use a vertical bar between the IP addresses of the NTP servers. For example:

$ntpserver = "192.16.7.10|192.16.7.11"
