Hello!!
I'm hoping someone can help me with a PowerCLI cmdlet that could put all of vm's for all hosts in Automatic startup in addition set allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically and set delay shutdown and shutdown action for each vms in all host .@
Best regards
Ehsan
In esx1.shlalajin.org.txt there is a duplicate line, but that will not explain the 1st error you see.
Just to make sure we are looking at the same thing, can you attach the .ps1 file with the script ?

I again check my VMs name files.txt and correct the duplicate
Again I try your last scrip
And see this error

What is this ?
The error I have been investigating isn't there anymore, while you confirmed several times that it was still there.
Blog: lucd.info Twitter: @LucD22 Co-author PowerCLI Reference
so I got confused and just did what you told me and your script
and try your script
you mean there is no chance to figure out my problem ? what is wrong ?
I didn't say that, but you had me on the wrong track.
I was obviously looking at the wrong error.
So you confirm your last run only has this "invalid parameter" issue ?
I'll see if I can come up with some more debugging steps (for me that script seems to be working fine).

Hi Mr LUCD
Is there any chance ?
