The specified parameter 'InventoryLocation' expects a single value, but your name criteria 'XYZ' corresponds to multiple values.

I'm trying to move some VMs to specifics inventory folders, my environment is organized like this:

DTC\Folder1\Production

DTC\Folder2\Production

I'd like to know if we had some way to move by folderid

Thanks

The Move-VM cmdlet doesn't accept an Id on the InventoryLocation parameter.

But there are some ways around this.

Get the destination folder in a variable, and use that as the value for the InventoryLocation.
The Get-Folder cmdlet does have an Id parameter.

Another option is to use my Get-FolderByPath function.
Then you retrieve the intended folder by providing the full path, store the result in a variable and use that for the InventoryLocation parameter.

Hi, thanks for replying,

I've tried to use the parameter InventoryLocation with no success, it does not accept the full path.

If write the folder "production",  move-vm -Vm test -InventoryLocation "Production", then the error message happens:

The specified parameter 'InventoryLocation' expects a single value, but your name criteria 'XYZ' corresponds to multiple values.

That is not what I suggested.
You can't use a folderpath on the InventoryLocation.
