write-progress not showing %

[tdubb123]

any idea how to get %tage showing here?

$UpdateTask = Update-Entity -Baseline $baseline -Entity $vmhost -RunAsync -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop

while ($updatetask.percentcomplete -ne 100) {

Write-Progress -Activity "Patching $vmhost" -PercentComplete $updatetask.PercentComplete

start-sleep 5

$Updatetask = get-task -id $Updatetask.id

}

% is not showing on a progress bar

You can use the Status parameter.

$UpdateTask = Update-Entity -Baseline $baseline -Entity $vmhost -RunAsync -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop

while ($UpdateTask.percentcomplete -ne 100) {

    Write-Progress -Activity "Patching $vmhost" -PercentComplete $updatetask.PercentComplete -Status "$($UpdateTask.PercentComplete) %"

    Start-Sleep 5

    $Updatetask = Get-Task -Id $Updatetask.id

}
