Blog post "Using CredSSP with the vCO PowerShell Plugin"

[Spas_Kaloferov]

In this post we take a look at common difficulties and challenges when using VMware vCloud Orchestrator Server (vCO) in combination with Microsoft Windows PowerShell to achieve remote script execution of PowerShell code.

Few common scenarios and roadblocks that can be seen when using vCO and the PowerShell Plugin are:

◾Execute remote PowerShell commands. In this scenario you are running a vCO workflow that executes PowerShell code on ServerA and the code itself needs to access ServerB.

◾Access to mapped network drives through vCO: In this scenario you are running a vCO workflow that executes PowerShell code which needs to access locally mapped network drive on the PowerShell host or remote network share on remote host.

◾Run a PowerShell script (.ps1) file from within a PowerShell script: In this scenario you are running a vCO workflow that executes PowerShell code which calls an external PowerShell script (.ps1) file and executers it. The file can be located locally on the PowerShell host, on a locally attached/mapped share on the PowerShell host or share on a remote host.
