Hi all,
I am currently working on some automation scripts to setup Windows Server on VMWare based on VM-templates.
All the scripts are Powershell-based.
Workflow:
[Invokation-Script (local-server)] -----WinRM----> [Remote-Script (remote-server)] -----PCLI/vAPI-----> vCenter
The Invokation-script uses "invoke-command" with session-option "Credssp" to allow second hops connections.
The PowerCLI modules are loaded on the remote-server.
The scripts executed on the remote-server are located on a network share.
So far so good. 14 out of 15 scripts are working flawlessly.
The problem is caused by one script, or more precise by one command -> Set-NetworkAdapter.
This is the failing script:
$ProgressPreference = ’SilentlyContinue’
Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core
Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Vds
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:$false | Out-Null
Connect-VIServer -Server $vCenterServer
$VM = get-vm -Name $Hostname
$VMNetworkAdapter = ($VM | Get-NetworkAdapter)[0]
Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $VMNetworkAdapter -NetworkName $VcPGName -Confirm:$false
Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false -Force
If I execute this script with the paramete "-WhatIf" set for the Set-NetworkAdapter command everything works fine.
If I remove the "-WhatIf" switch the VM's network adapter gets reconfigured (Task shows up in vCenter as 'completed') but the script hangs an it does not return from the remote-sessionThe session to the remote host is then locked or busy and i have no chance to get any return value or reconnect to this session.
Other commands like "Set-VM" are working with the exact same type of script.
Is there someone with similar experiences?
Is this a known issue?
I really appreciate your help.
