Checking the Synchronize time: flag in Virtual Mac...

elmerA · ‎01-01-2015

Hi,

I'm working on a powercli scripts to check whether the flag "Sycronize Time" was checked or not for each VM inside a vApp.

I tried to go one by one in all the properties and methods in [$VM].ExtensionData.* but i cannot find where this property is.

can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

Regards,
ElmerA

Hi LucD,

Thanks for your reply.

But the $vm object from get-civm -vapp $vappobject command doesn't have the "Config" property. Any other idea? Thanks again.

No, you will have to do a Get-VM to get the underlying VM.

See Alan's Relating vCloud Director to vCenter in PowerCLI

Hi LucD,

Thanks again for replying.

Problem is Allan's solution requires simultaneous connection to vCenter which I'am not allowed. I'm allowed only to connect via vCloud server and no vcenter direct access.

Since I can see that option in vCloud web interface->Vapp->VirtualMachines->VM Properties, perhaps there maybe other way?

I attached a screenshot to describe what i mean.

Thanks,

EA
