PowerShell+ 2019 - Going Core with VMware PowerCLI! by Luc Dekens

Several features in VMware PowerCLI are build on Windows features. As a result they do not run on the .Net core that comes with PowerShell v6. In the 10 years that VMware PowerCLI was available,many organisations and users have written a wealth of scripts to manage their vSphere environment. How can one make these legacy scripts run in PS v6? Is this another Y2K scenario? It turns out that PowerShell already has a lot of the answers. This session will explore how many scripts can be made to run in PS v6 without even making any changes to the legacy code. PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a "best effort" basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations' information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
