Create job with several vms using PS

[andka16]

We are trying to create a veeam backup job and add several vms to it using this powershell code

The vms are specified in a .txt file

The script creates the job ok and adds one vm.... the rest of the vms are not added to the job.

Any help would be appreciated

What does your text file look like? You are doing foreach($server in $servers) and $servers just seems to be an array/text. You then do:

Code: Select all

name = $server.Name
$size = $server.ProvisionedSpaceGB
$size = $size.Split(",")
$size = $size[0]
$size = [int]$size

I'm not sure how $server will have any of this data yet without finding the object first.

+1. Your building a big string and not an array
