SCVMM Powershell Scripts

I have been working on setting up a shared VMM configuration where I have multiple servers that are shared with multiple developers (they each have their own server but all ties into the same SCVMM.

I copied over VMs, ISO, and Templates to the individual servers but I wanted the resources on each server to be defined as belonging to the developer using it.

But when you copy them they all show as unknown…… now I am lazy and don’t want to go to the properties of each object and set the owner, and powershell being the wonderful thing it is made this easy so here is my “owner script”

You can run as individual 1 liners or save all together as a single .ps1 file

 

*************************************************************

Get-vmmserver localhost

#Set all TEMPLATES on SERVER1 to USER_ONE

Get-Template | ? {$_.LibraryServer -EQ "SERVER1.LAB.LOCAL"} | Set-Template -Owner USER_ONE | FT name, owner

#Set all ISO on SERVER1 to USER_ONE

Get-iso | ? {$_.LibraryServer -EQ "SERVER1.LAB.LOCAL"} | Set-iso -Owner USER_ONE | FT name, owner

#Set VM on SERVER1 to USER_ONE

get-VM | ? {$_.LibraryServer -EQ "SERVER1.LAB.LOCAL"} | Set-VM -Owner USER_ONE | FT name, owner

get-VM | ? {$_.VMHOst -EQ "SERVER1.LAB.LOCAL"} | Set-VM -Owner USER_ONE | FT name, owner

#Set VHD on SERVER1 to USER_ONE

Get-VirtualHardDisk | ? {$_.LibraryServer -EQ "SERVER1.LAB.LOCAL"} | Set-VirtualHardDisk -Owner USER_ONE | FT name, owner

Re-create Exchange 2007 OWA Virtual Directories..

Have you had issues with OWA where you needed to re-create the directories? or maybe you made customizations and now it doesn’t work and you want to just get back to the default config?

Here are some scripts to get re-install the OWA virtual directories, they have been tested in lab environments

As with everything use at your own risk and always make a backup first!
YOU are responsible for your server\data.

ONLY do this if you have 1 CAS server and have not customized the OWA directories.

Save this as rebuildOWA.ps1 and run from powershell

************************Start of script**********************************************

$server = hostname

Get-OwaVirtualDirectory -server $server | Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory

Quick and Easy Remote ExchangePowerShell

1. Configure the powershell virtual directory with basic auth
   1. 
   2. 
2. Forward 443 through your firewall (or publish with ISA)
3. Copy this script, change the FQDN to match your server and save as RemoteExchange.ps1
   $usercredential = get-credential
   $pso = new-pssessionoption -skipcacheck -SkipCNCheck -SkipRevocationCheck
   $session= New-PSSession -configuration Microsoft.EXchange -ConnectionUri https://FQDN/powershell -credential $usercredential -authentication basic -sessionoption $pso
   import-pssession $session
4. open powershell and run the script ./RemoteExchange.ps1
5. Disconnect with “Remove-PSSession $Session”

Note: this script ignores Certificate checks, only use if you can trust the server you are connecting to!

You may need to set the Powershell Execution Policy so you can run the scripts

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted or Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

*Note: you do have to enable remote powershell access for the user
