[NoobBK]

Hi all !

I want to code some scripts by AutoIT to control my virtual machine on Virtual Server. So i read about Virtual Server COM API on Technet and try one of scripts http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcen...3.mspx?mfr=true

Script Code

CODE

On Error Resume Next

Set objVS = CreateObject("VirtualServer.Application")

Set objVM = objVS.FindVirtualMachine("Windows 2000 Server")

objVM.Notes = "This is a Windows 2000 virtual machine."

Code for AutoIT

$objVS = ObjCreate("VirtualServer.Application")
$objVM = $objVS.FindVirtualMachine("Windows 2000 Server")
$objVM.Notes = "This is a Windows 2000 virtual machine."

When i run it. I reviced error

The requested action with this object has failed.:

$objVM = $objVS.FindVirtualMachine("Windows 2000 Server")

$objVM = $objVS.FindVirtualMachine("Windows 2000 Server")^ ERROR

Pls help me to fix this issue.

Good luck with this one, I tried for half a day to get a couple of Virt. Servers to save state and/or merge disks for backup purposes. I gave up after facing the same issues and resorted to VB. Probably could have used Powershell too but I'm too lazy to learn it right now.

First make certain that the vbs code works for you.

Next, check IsObj() on the abject variables to insure they were set properly. Next set up a COM error handler to see if you get more information (see the helpfile of use the one from IE.au3 with _IEErrorHandlerRegister() )

I think that you're going to have to explain that.

I might be wrong though, and the OP actually understands what you're suggesting.
