About enabling CDP whut powershell i wrote a script any comment or feedback welcome

1. To use only to 3.5 and up version of ESX

$VMHosts = Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name

$User = "root"

$Pswd = "rootpassword"

$plink = "YOUR PLINK LOCATION \plink.exe"

1. You can download plink.exe from following URL

2. http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/plink.exe

$plinkoptions = "-pw $Pswd"

1. Uncomment for get certificate from ESX hosts

#ForEach ($VMHost in $VMHosts)

#{

1. $autentication = "echo Y | $plink -l root -pw $Pswd $($VMHost.Name) exit"

# Invoke-Expression -Command $autentication

#}

ForEach ($VMHost in $VMHosts)

{

Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $VMHost | Foreach {

$msg = ""

$cmd = 'esxcfg-vswitch -B both '

$remoteCommand = '"' + $cmd + $_.name + '"'

$command = $plink + " " + $plinkoptions + " " + $User + "@" + $VMHost.Name + " " + $remoteCommand

$msg = Invoke-Expression -command $command -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Verbose

}

}

Obviusly only fot ESX 3.5 and higher
