@Fred
Yes it works on ESX 3.5, we have been using it for about 9 months now without any problem.

Just curious – will this work on just ESX 3.5 and ESX 3i servers? We are currently not running sphere. It be great to get this for my small environment with 7 production VMs.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the comments !

That definitely sounds like an issue with the smtp settings, are you sure you have them correct, does your smtp server require authentication, can you telnet to the box on port 25 from the machine running the script ?

Ok, Try this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile “C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1″ ” & “c:\scripts\DailyReport.psc1 stnsvpvcenter”

Note the extra quote. I normally run it from a DOS prompt first to make sure it works.

On s server 2008 R2 64 bit machine running the latest vcenter I issue the following command at the command line.

C:\Users\stn1vmadmin>C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile “C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1 ” & “c:\scripts\DailyReport.psc1 stnsvpvcenter”

and I get this error …

Windows PowerShell console file “”C:\Program” extension is not psc1. Windows PowerShell console file extension must be psc1.

Thanks for the comment, to be honest I have not tried it in an unmanaged 3.5 environment, you will probably get a bunch of errors but you should get some info back at least, the script only reads information, there is no writes at all so give it a go, the worst that can happen is it will fail !

I would be interested in your results !
