每一个好的博客文章应该有一些现实生活中的故事,以帮助您直观为什么事情发生,所以这里有云:
故事
有一天,而坐在办公室里更新我需要记录的虚拟基础架构灾难恢复文档,大家都知道,像漂亮的照片管理器,因此首先他们要求是怎样的基础设施看起来相当图。
在页面上滴我40 VM对象后,我开始变得有点无聊,我看了看其他的选择。已经有执行此作业的市场上一个伟大的工具, Veeam的记者生成多个文件,并做了伟大的工作,但作为一个承包商我有一个零预算。知道你可以做一些非常酷的东西的Powershell我不知道这将是多么容易钩到Visio中的COM对象来获取PowerShell来创建文档我。
事实证明,它不是那么难,有几个粘时刻,我必须参照的Visio论坛,并通过使用Visio中的唯一参考PowerShell的一个很好的起点,我能找到的(退房CommandBreak_感谢Joeseph )后解释是球员在Visio论坛,并解释为什么我使用PowerShell ,因为我觉得这是第一次,这些人已经听说过什么PowerShell中,我开始与一些有c#的例子回PowerShell的。
