Map vmdk to guest volume
I have a Hyper-V cluster and want PowerShell to give me a list of what vmdk file is assigned to which volume mount point in the virtual machine OS (Windows). Example: vmdk file mount point ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\ClusterStorage\Data1\VM\ComputerA\Virtual Hard Disks\OSDisk.vhdx C:\ C:\ClusterStorage\Data1\VM\ComputerA\Virtual Hard Disks\MainMount.vhdx M:\ C:\ClusterStorage\Data1\VM\ComputerA\Virtual Hard Disks\Temp.vhdx M:\Temp The vmdks for C: and M: are mapped to drives in the guest, whereas Temp.vhdx is mounted in a folder under M:\. The main challenge for me is actually to find the correct elements that allow me to link a VMDK to a disk inside the virtual machine OS. The ones I found so far are: Get-Disk gives me numbers for adapter, port, target, and LUN, and Get-VMHardDiskDrive returns numbers for controller and location, which I guess link to target and LUN. But I'm pretty unsure whether it's safe to use these properties... Get-Disk returns a path, and I think I can use this to map the result of a win32_mountpoint CIM query to it to get the volume mount point... Does anyone have some valuable information for me on this?New-MgBookingBusinessService | Customer Information Questions

Hi, With Graph, I want to add some device members in a static security Entra group using it to deploy some certificates with Intune. I do it with following command: New-MgGroupMember -GroupId $groupId -DirectoryObjectId $device.AzureAdDeviceId but I receive this error: New-MgGroupMember : Resource 'df75dfe1-8b5a-4cc6-8f99-17746bb8c07e' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present.

If I try to add a user it works fine, with device I have this error. In the group I can add device member manually from Intune without problems. There is a known issue when add device members to groups in Graph? Can anyone help me to resolve this issue, please?Copy-Item -Recurse bug

FC Target discovery
I was looking for a way to discover FC targets for each initiator. Searching on the web I found this code # Get all initiator ports (HBA ports) $initiatorPorts = Get-InitiatorPort # Loop through each initiator port and list its targets foreach ($port in $initiatorPorts) { Write-Host "Initiator Port: $($port.NodeAddress) - $($port.PortAddress)" $targets = Get-InitiatorTarget -InitiatorPortAddress $port.PortAddress foreach ($target in $targets) { Write-Host " Target: $($target.NodeAddress) - $($target.PortAddress)" } } But is not working because the Get-initiatortarget is not recognized as valid command. Is there a way I can do it thanks
Install-Package - failed to be installed: End of Central Directory record could not be found.
Hi all, Since last week I've had multiple errors in my pipelines when trying to install NuGet packages: Install-Package -Name Microsoft.PowerBi.Api -Source MyNuGet -ProviderName NuGet -Scope CurrentUser -RequiredVersion 3.18.1 -SkipDependencies This seems to be affecting multiple packages: Install-Package : Package Newtonsoft.Json failed to be installed because: End of Central Directory record could not be found. Install-Package : Package Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime failed to be installed because: End of Central Directory record could not be found. Install-Package : Package Microsoft.PowerBI.Api failed to be installed because: End of Central Directory record could not be found. When downloading the package I don't see any errors using nuget verify. I get these errors in microsoft hosted agents in ADO pipelines, on my laptop, or any VM I use. Doesn't seem to be related to PS or OS version or any proxies/firewalls. Any ideas? Thank you
resolve-dnsname returns odd data
hi, appreciate your time. I am working with resolve-dnsname and I am seeing some odd results. for example: resolve-dnsname -server 10.0.20.5 -name "60.16.40.194.in-addr.arpa" -NoHostsFile -type ptr Name Type TTL Section NameHost ---- ---- --- ------- -------- 60.16.40.194.in-addr.arpa. PTR 1200 Question LNB050825-LT3 so here is what's weird about this.... when I look at my dns server with dns manager and look at the reverse zone, I do not have a record for this IP address: Also, when I look at the resolve-dnsname data, I see there is something called "Section", and it is set to "Question". Also notice that the "NameHost" is short and not a FQDN. The "Section" is interesting because on requests the return the right data, Section is set to "Answer". Equally weird is that if I pick a different IP that I also know does not exist, I get this: PS C:\Trash> resolve-dnsname -server 10.0.20.5 -name "60.1.40.194.in-addr.arpa" -NoHostsFile -type ptr Resolve-DnsName: 60.1.40.194.in-addr.arpa : DNS name does not exist. this is what I would expect if the record does not exist....so what is happening in the first example? Thanks in advance for anyone's time on this.Array and array member methods
The following PowerShell code: class MyClass { } class MyClass1 : MyClass { [void] OutMsg([string] $Str) { Write-Host -Object "MyClass1: $Str" } } class MyClass2 : MyClass { [void] OutMsg([string] $Str) { Write-Host -Object "MyClass2: $Str" } } [MyClass[]] $ClassArray = @([MyClass1]::new(), [MyClass2]::new()) $ClassArray.OutMsg('TestString') outputs: MyClass1: TestString MyClass2: TestString A Get-Member -InputObject $ClassArray shows me that the array object itself has no OutMsg method. Why can I successfully call $ClassArray.OutMsg('TestString') though (looks like this calls the OutMsg method of each array member in turn)?
