PS C:\Windows\system32> enter-pssession iscvmm02 [iscvmm02]: PS C:\Users\su\Documents>Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager [iscvmm02]: PS C:\Users\su\Documents>$hide= Get-VMMServer -ComputerName "iscvmm02.corp.avanade.org" [iscvmm02]: PS C:\Users\su\Documents>$VM = Get-VM | where { $_.ComputerNameString -contains "idpsm02.corp.air.org" } [iscvmm02]: PS C:\Users\su\Documents>$harddisk=$VM.VirtualHardDisks [iscvmm02]: PS C:\Users\su\Documents>$h=$harddisk.length [iscvmm02]: PS C:\Users\su\Documents>for($i=0;$i-lt$h;$i++){ New-Variable -Name "HardDiskType_$i" -value $harddisk[$i].vhdtype New-Variable -Name "HardDiskLocation_$i" -value $harddisk[$i].Location } [iadpscvmm02]: PS C:\Users\su\Documents>Exit-PSSession PS C:\Windows\system32>$harddisktype_0 PS C:\Windows\system32>$harddisklocation_0 |
as you can see both the variable output’s give null value, im unable to retain the values
Answer:
This example gets listing from remote computer’s C drive and assigns it into a local variable. So tune your VMM script accordingly.
