Re: Using Connect-CIServer in a Start-Job

Hi,

I don't use jobs yet and I don't know how they work. But I got this to work as expected (I think):

Start-Job -ScriptBlock  {      # Add PSSnapins            Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core      Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Vds      Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.License      Add-PSSnapin VMware.DeployAutomation      Add-PSSnapin VMware.ImageBuilder      Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud          $task = Connect-CIServer YOURSERVER -user USERNAME -password PASSWORD -wa 0 -ea 0    Get-CIvApp "Test CIvApp"  exit
}

Then I waited for it to finish:

Get-Job 23 | fl

Once I saw:

JobStateInfo  : Completed
Finished      : System.Threading.ManualResetEvent
InstanceId    : 905c99b0-3771-4ea0-9711-f14db2009916
Id            : 23
Name          : Job23
ChildJobs     : {Job24}

I ran this: Get-Job 23 | Receive-Job

Name                           Enabled      InMaintenanceMode    Owner
----                                -------            -----------------                    -----
Test CIvAPP               True               False                              system

Do you get the same result? I also got Get-CIvApp "Test CIvApp" | get-civm "MachineName" to return the info.

Cheers,
