We have the following script in assigning tags to VMs.
#Get the tag Name
$Tag = get-tag -name $tag_name
#Get the VM
$vms = get-vm -name $VM
#Tag the VM
$vms | New-TagAssignment -Tag $Tag
The $tag_name and the $VM parameters are passed in via ansible
However, I want to add some extra conditional logic to the script
I want to create the tag itself, if it does not exist
Something like:
if ($Tag = get-tag -name $tag_name) == false
then
$tag = New-tag -name $tag_name -Category 'Port-Groups'
If you try and assign a tag that does not exist to a VM, it will spit back an error. Likewise if you try and create a tag that already exists.
Is there an easier way to search for a tag, that will return a boolean if there is a match?
