Unable to get output when execute "ifconfig" using Invoke-VMScript

[leoyyoung]

Hi,

Now I would like to execute some scripts in vm using Invoke-VMScript, of course I would like to get the script output. This is the first time to use this.

When I do some try, I found I could not get the output sometimes, such as when execute "ifconfig", but I can get output when execute commands like "pwd"/'ls'...So i am a little confused and hope to get some help for this.

Please see the issue here:

What version of VMware tools are you using?

This works for me with RedHat 6.4, VMware tools 9.0.0.15210 (build-782409) and PowerCLI 5.5 release 1

Although RH 6.* is not yet officially supported in the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet according to the documentation, this seems to work for me.

Today I try Redhat 6.5, VMware tools 9.0.0.15210 (build-782409) and PowerCLI 5.5 release 1. But still not work ok. So strange.

Yeah, it is very strange, today I try Redhat 6.5, VMware tools 9.0.0.15210 (build-782409) and PowerCLI 5.5 release 1, also does not work fine.
