有人问我,同时在客户现场工作,谁创造了一个虚拟机,这是一个在大多数环境中常见的问题,管理员权限是正常的,并创建一个VM是创建一个新的Word文档一样简单。
通过日志拖拽几分钟后,我发现的创造者,并告诉顾客,很容易,我猜想,但我们怎么可能使这更容易?
对这个问题的答案是否定的这个博客会给大多数读者惊喜的... ... PowerCLI ! PowerCLI!
一个快速的脚本和解决在AD中的用户帐户,我可以添加自定义字段,每个虚拟机,让我知道谁创造了虚拟机,并??在创建时,所有的显示如下图所示,在每个VM的注释:
Connect-VIServer MYVISERVER # Uncomment the next line to test this script and tell you what it would do ! # $WhatIfPreference = $true if (-not (Get-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) { Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core } if (-not (Get-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) { Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement }$VMs = Get-VM | Sort Name $VM = $VMs | Select -First 1 If (-not $vm.CustomFields.ContainsKey("CreatedBy")) { Write-Host "Creating CreatedBy Custom field for all VM's" New-CustomAttribute -TargetType VirtualMachine -Name CreatedBy | Out-Null } If (-not $vm.CustomFields.ContainsKey("CreatedOn")) { Write-Host "Creating CreatedOn Custom field for all VM's" New-CustomAttribute -TargetType VirtualMachine -Name CreatedOn | Out-Null } Foreach ($VM in $VMs){ If ($vm.CustomFields["CreatedBy"] -eq $null -or $vm.CustomFields["CreatedBy"] -eq ""){ Write-Host "Finding creator for $vm" $Event = $VM | Get-VIEvent -Types Info | Where { $_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmBeingDeployedEvent" -or $_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmCreatedEvent" -or $_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmRegisteredEvent" -or $_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmClonedEvent"} If (($Event | Measure-Object).Count -eq 0){ $User = "Unknown" $Created = "Unknown" } Else { If ($Event.Username -eq "" -or $Event.Username -eq $null) { $User = "Unknown" } Else { $User = (Get-QADUser -Identity $Event.Username).DisplayName if ($User -eq $null -or $User -eq ""){ $User = $Event.Username } $Created = $Event.CreatedTime } } Write "Adding info to $($VM.Name)" Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "CreatedBy $User" $VM | Set-CustomField -Name "CreatedBy" -Value $User | Out-Null Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "CreatedOn $Created" $VM | Set-CustomField -Name "CreatedOn" -Value $Created | Out-Null } } |
脚本是相当直截了当,值得一提的不过几个警告:
?此脚本使用的AD cmdlet任务来解决在AD中的用户名,如果你没有安装,那么你可以安装或使用微软的AD cmdelts或我将做同样的事情,我以前用过的功能。
?如果虚拟机是在很久以前创建的,不幸的是,获取VIEvent cmdlet的没有办法从事件开始启动,所以我需要检索该VM的所有事件,然后过滤他们。 ?如果虚拟机的是从虚拟中心中删除,然后重新添加它会有的人重新导入或添加虚拟机,不是原始的创建者的名称。一旦我们的信息添加到虚拟机的,我们当然可以做一些很酷的报告,如创建虚拟机的:
Get-VM | Select Name -ExpandProperty CustomFields | Where {$_.key -eq "CreatedBy"} | Out-GridView |
甚至是谁创建了大多数的虚拟机:
Get-VM | Select Name -ExpandProperty CustomFields | Where {$_.key -eq "CreatedBy"} | Group-Object | Select Count, Name | Sort Count -Descending |Out-GridView |
