I am pretty new to using PowerCLI and I would like to use it to automate a couple of things, but it does not seem to allow me to run what I want to without connecting to a server. I do not want to have to connect to a server to automate the service I am trying to run. Would anyone have any ideas on how to work around the Connect-VIServer issue?
If it helps I am trying to use the Set-Template command to convert my file to a VM.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
If you don't own a copy of vCenter you can still get a lot out of PowerCLI.
PowerCLI will enable you to manage multiple ESX servers at once even without vCenter,
but no *vMotion or templates*, you still need vCenter for those features!
So you can't avoid the use of connect-viserver
