Looking for assistance. I have two major tasks I am trying to achieve.
1. To create a a new DVS with Port Groups (x6) and Uplinks defined (Open = vmnic 1,3 Restricted = 2,5)
2. Add new ESX Host to DVS.
I am very new to Power Shell (as you will see).
Question 1:
My first question is how to ensure PowerShell scripts are run using a Non-Personal Service Account in Microsoft AD without using RunAs on a .bat File each time. Does PowerGUI. e.g., have a built-in feature to run PowerShell scripts under a nominated account. I have searched under debug options. No joy there. What is th standard method here? My domain account does not have rights to connec to vCenter.High security environment.
Question 2:
Secondly for task 1 above I have developed the following using LucD notes: http://www.lucd.info/2009/10/09/dvswitch-scripting-part-1-creation. However, it is not working, see debug Task1.debug.log attached. Perhaps since Get-PowerCLIVersion returns the following: "VMware vSphere PowerCLI 4.1 build 264274" I should be using LucD's other post for vSphere SDK
for .Net: http://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/2010/07/vds-in-powercli-41.html
Please advise on best approach to take here.
