Create Guest OS list by OS
Hi
I am trying to get a list of Guest OS VMs and then change something.
I see some examples where I can use the Get-VM and also Get-View for both cases.
Example:
get-vm | Select Name,@{N="Configured OS";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.GuestFullname}},@{N="Running OS";E={$_.Guest.OsFullName}}
or just
Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config.GuestFullName | %{
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
Name = $_.Name
GuestOS = $_.Config.GuestFullName
}
} | Select Name, GuestOS
Using a filter( -Filter @{"Config.GuestFullName" = "Windows*"} ) or not to list the proper Guest OS type.
But what I need, and I am not able to do is, using with the Get-View or Get-VM, removing the filter, and in a foreach check witch VM have Linux or Windows, then do an action after found the type of Guest OS.
For example, add a TAG like this: New-TagCategory –Name "Windows" -Description "VMs System Operation TAG" –Cardinality single –EntityType VirtualMachine
I can run everything individually and works fine, but my problem is to put everything in only script and with a condition for each type of Guest OS
Thanks in advance for any help.
