I don't think my colleagues find it that interesting to do that again because we migrated some ESX Hosts and the snaphot was 1 h old and we need to do that again and because of our faulty vcenter we have not that much time. So I think we just do the job without script

yeah there are not really any scripts for that out there as I tried to google for vcenter with multible datacenter and only a copy of path + permissions on folders. the rest all worked just not that. For a Powershell noob Other scripts that do the whole migration, I tried it to just copy the things I needed but didnt work because they probably needed the whole code to run.

yeah in the script first 2 line it says no multible datacenter and it seems that it will still to all datacenter but cant keep up with it   on the import script I need to use -permissions  yeah guess what I need to state the datacenter too now too and then it did merge our 4 datacenter is this one and rearanged the folder but I only did the -permissions and  not -folder so I gues I will do the handjob now move it back and make the permission that are missing too.   still thanks for you help

ok so I get a error that I have multible Datacenter in the vcenter  but I only named  one under "datacenter"   then in the import script it tells me something with switches what I dont know what to do

yeah in the Import file I have 10 with the exact same lines with "UserXXX","admin","true","Test"","Folder" so the script doesn't knwo the exact location of the folders.Can you help me to change this or is that not possible?

Hello Lucd it seems not all permissions where set I got some lines with   New-VIPermission : the argumentiontransformation for the parameter "Entity" could not be processed. This parameter no longer accepts an array. As an alternative you may pass multiple values by pipeline (if supported by the parameter).

I get this   New-VIPermission : "System.String" can not be converted to "System.Boolean", for the Parameter "Propagate" is needed. In Z:\Vmware\script\import vcenter.ps1:12 Zeichen:22 +     New-Vipermission @Sperm +                      ~~~~~~     + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [New-VIPermission], ParameterBindingException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgument,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.PermissionManagement.NewVIPermission  

but I have now 2 files and not 1 csv, can I just do 1 file and then run again with the other? I did run them and I get "new-VIPermission: System.String cant convert to System Boolean" is it because the csv dont have worksheet names?

ok it is possible that was the Question and now it is how do I do this for like for i in `esxcfg-scsidevs -c | awk '{print$1}' | grep naa.600 `; do esxcli storage nmp psp roundrobin deviceconfig set --type=iops --iops=1 --device=$i; done I dont even know how to make it into a Get-ESXcli and then I need so do this all for every ESX and all commands how can I do this.

so I just did command out the #  Template = $templateTab I dont know what the clone from the template is doning but the cloned VMs have 1 CPU 0.25 GB RAM and the Templates both have 2 or 4 CPUs and 4 or 8 GB RAM at least no error but the wrong configurations seems like it cant find my templates and then just do a default one. but all the parameters from the CSV are set. so what is the right way to call the right template
