ActiveXPosh and VirtualMachineManager

Post by **momoca** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 5:59 pm

Can someone please help me? Has anyone got ActiveXPosh and VirtualMachineManager to work for them? I'd appreciate any help or advice. Thanks!

Option Explicit Dim ActiveXPosh Dim Command Const OUTPUT_CONSOLE = 0 Const OUTPUT_WINDOW = 1 Const OUTPUT_BUFFER = 2 Function CreateActiveXPosh() Dim success Set ActiveXPosh = CreateObject("SAPIEN.ActiveXPoSH") success = ActiveXPosh.Init(vbFalse) If success <> 0 then WScript.Echo "Init failed" end if ActiveXPosh.OutputMode = OUTPUT_CONSOLE End Function CreateActiveXPosh
ActiveXPosh.Execute("Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager")

Command = "Get-VM"

ActiveXPosh.Execute(Command)

It would help if you would elaborate on what error you get.

The error clearly indicates that the snapin is not installed. Are you trying to access a 64 bit snapin from a 32 bit component?
