Hi all,
I'm running the below script to connect to a list of vcenters one by one and get all the VMs that have "test" in their names and export them to a CSV file, and all the VMs that does NOT have "test" in their names to another CSV file.
The problem is that it is not disconnecting from $vcenter when it's done, so each round it's appending the new entries from the next $vcenter and adding the oldones ones again from the previous $vcenter, so for example instead of getting at the end 140 entries I'm getting +1K entries .
Im not getting the "Disconnecting from $vcenter" output at the end of each round.
$vcenters = get-content vcenters.txt
$credential = Get-Credential -Message "Enter vCenter Credentials."
$outputfile_1 = "C:\users\user.name\Desktop\report1.csv"
$outputfile_2 = "C:\users\user.name\Desktop\report2.csv"
foreach ($vcenter in $vcenters){
Write-Output "connecting to vcenter" $vcenter Connect-VIServer $vcenter -Credential $credentials
get-vm | where-object {$_.name -Like "*test*"} |
Export-Csv -append $outputfile_1 -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
get-vm | where-object {$_.name -notlike "*test*" } |
Export-Csv -append $outputfile_2 -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
Write-Output "Disconnecting from " $vcenter
Disconnect-VIServer $vcenter -Confirm:$false
}
