While not entering loop
Hi community, i want to shutdown a windows server to take a vmware snapshot. So I have to check if the vm is powered down on esx. # connect-VIServer -Server vm-vcenter001.contoso.com $computer = "vm-sql" Stop-Computer $computer -Force -Confirm:$false $vm = Get-VM $computer $vmstate = $vm.PowerState $vmstate while ($vmstate -eq 'PoweredOff') { Start-Sleep -Seconds 5 Write-Host "$computer is $($vm.PowerState)" $vmstate = (get-vm $vm).PowerState } Write-Host "VM down" The problem is that never entering the loop. All properties and variables are correct. After the script this condition is true. So it schuld be fine. $vmstate -eq "PoweredOff" I think it has something to do, that the condition ist with a string?! Any help will be wonderfull.Solved984Views0likes2Comments
