Powercli run commands inside the vm without network connectivity

We need to run some commands inside one of the vm , but its not connect to the network

First we need to connect to the vCenter using powercli

In below command I’m using dos command to create a folder in c drive of the vm

Code

connect-viserver vcenter.corp.local

$cred=Get-Credential

Invoke-VMScript –vm vm01 –ScriptText “mkdir C:\Test” –ScriptType Bat –GuestCredential $cred

Same way we can run the PowerShell commands(In below example, I’m stopping the spooler service)

connect-viserver vcenter.corp.local

$cred=Get-Credential

Invoke-VMScript –vm vm01 –ScriptText “stop-service spoooler” –ScriptType Powershell –GuestCredential $cred
