Don’t put your credentials into the PowerCLI scripts! There is an option to store your credentials on the Host. Instead of plain text connection like: Connect-VIServer -Server vCenter.mydomain.org –User MyUser –Password “my favorite password” Put your credentials into the store with: New-VICredentialStoreItem -Host vCenter.mydomain.org –User MyUser –Password “my favorite password” Once you stored this, you have to write only: Connect-VIServer -Server vCenter.mydomain.org Connect-VIServer check’s first the credential store and uses it 😉   Share this… Facebook Pinterest Twitter Linkedin
