PowerCLI - Create Categories and Tags?

Hi,

I've been trawling the documentation and Google for an afternoon now, but I can't find a way of creating a Category and Tag in PowerCLI 5.1 R1 - does anyone know if this is possible? The custom attribute wizard is shockingly poor, I need to be able to PoSH my existing attributes into Tags.

Thanks,

Sam

I'm afraid there aren't any Tag cmdlets.

In fact there are no documented methods in the API Reference for the Tag object either.

William did a post on settings tags through the MOB.

Thanks LucD,

I can see the "Tag" attribute using "Get-VM VM | Get-View" but it has no methods and doesn't appear to reflect the Tags in the console.

Not sure about the MOB method, I was hoping for something more "supported" Smiley Happy
