Set-NetworkAdapter for multiple VM's

[Joggid_1981]

Hi,

I need little help to make below script faster. I have csv file "VM_s.csv" like this

Name

David-DR-01

David-DR-02

David-DR-03

David-DR-04

David-DR-05

and when I use function "foreach", so this script use VM one by one. Is it possible use a faster solution?

$vmNames = Import-Csv -Path .\VM_s.csv -UseCulture | select -ExpandProperty Name

Get-VM -Name $vmNames

foreach ($vm in $vmNames)

{ 

Get-VM $vm | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "My_PortGroup_Name" -StartConnected:$true -Confirm:$false

}

You can use the RunAsync switch on the Set-NetworkAdapter cmdlet.
That way the action will run in the background and your script will immediately continue with the next line.

The problem might be that if you have dependencies on that vNIC to be reconfigured for later in your script, that you might have to verify that all these background tasks are actually finished.

You can use the Get-Task cmdlet for that (in a loop)

It works. Thank you very much.
