I want to check if VMHost is configured with Syslog forwarding
I have written the following cmdlets but it is not giving "Syslog forwarding" status.
$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost abc.com
$esxcli.system.syslog | Select-Object *
$esxcli.system.syslog | gm is returning an error
gm : You must specify an object for the Get-Member cmdlet.

PowerCLI includes the Get-VMHostSysLogServer cmdlet. In the context of your question, this command would return the Syslog Server for the VMHost abc.com:
Get-VMHostSysLogServer -VMHost abc.com

I'm facing an issue of getting all vms configuration ( using Get-ScVirtualMachine command) into an array from an input file.
The code is this one below
$VmsList = Get-Content C:\VmsList.txt
foreach($vm in $VmsList){
$Result += Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name $vm
}
And I have this error
Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.VM] does not contain a method named 'op_Addition'.
At line:3 char:1
$Result += Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name $vm
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (op_Addition:String) [], RuntimeException

Could you please help me out?
A possible scenario is that you were testing and actually casted those variables like the error states. The error is not wrong. Those variables are not the list types that you have in your code. I can almost reproduce this issue:
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> [int[]]$sumlist = 5,5
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.GetType().Fullname
System.Int32[]
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.Add(5)
Exception calling "Add" with "1" argument(s): "Collection was of a fixed size."
At line:1 char:1
+ $sumlist.Add(5)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NotSupportedException
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[int]
While I didn't get the same error as you the point is the type of the variable didn't change even though I tried to recasted it. That is because of property of the variable explained in this answer by PetSerAl. Have a look at the command Get-Variable sumlist | ft Name,Attributes and you should see System.Management.Automation.ArgumentTypeConverterAttribute. Removing the variable and starting again I get your expected behavior.
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> Remove-Variable sumlist
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[int]
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.Add(5)
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.GetType().FullName
System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]
We are trying to setup a machine for PSRemoting using the following command
Set-PSSessionConfiguration -Name Microsoft.PowerShell -showSecurityDescriptorUI
for some reason this only works when we open the powershell in the context of a domain user who is a local administrator.
PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-PSSessionConfiguration -Name Microsoft.PowerShell -showSecurityDescriptorUI
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?

PS C:\Windows\system32>
it looks to me that there is something that is preventing access to the wsman:\localhost\plugin but can't understand how that can be fixed. This only happens in our test bed, but in our development environment we have no such issues.
Does any one have any clue as to what additional user access is for this command to work that an local administrator user may not have?
Here is an article that explains how to resolve this problem... basically to fix this you set LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy to True in the registry.
