Thanks ind advanced!

Check this example:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | where {$_.GetVSSOptions().WinGuestFSIndexingOptions.IsIndexingRequired -eq $True}

Thanks!

Hi,

Anyone knows the name of the variable below (image)?
The script above works, but it always return true (despite wheatear it is enabled or not within the Job config), i'd like to compare the variable ("WinGuestFSIndexingOptions.IsIndexingRequired") along the one below, in order to match if the job is set to process indexing of VMs.

Hi Eduardo,

What version of VBR are you using? Also, what type of job is it?

Thanks,
Oleg

@eduzimrs,

I think it's just related to the internal method no longer being maintained.

The actual cmdlet for this Get-VBRJobVSSOptions looks to work appropriately:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\Administrator> $job.GetVssOptions().WinGuestFSIndexingOptions

Enabled            : False
Type               : EveryFolders
IncludedFolders    : {}
ExcludedFolders    : {}
IsIndexingRequired : True

PS C:\Users\Administrator> $vss = Get-VBRJobVSSOptions -Job $job
PS C:\Users\Administrator> $vss.WinGuestFSIndexingOptions

Enabled            : False
Type               : None
IncludedFolders    : {}
ExcludedFolders    : {}
IsIndexingRequired : False

So I recommend use the official cmdlet -- fetch your job to some variable and call the VSS options with Get-VBRJobVSSOptions
