I try to create a Virtual Computer in Azure Portal from VMWare Image. I worked with this tutorials:
https://azure.microsoft.com/de-de/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-upload-image/#uploadvm
(german)
https://buildwindows.wordpress.com/2015/12/20/how-to-add-a-nic-to-an-azure-virtual-machine-arm/
(english)
In the german tutorial you´ll find
$vm = Set-AzureRmVMOperatingSystem -VM $vmConfig -Windows -ComputerName $computerName -Credential $cred -ProvisionVMAgent -EnableAutoUpdate
To get $cred i used:
$cred = Get-Credentials
a login windows will appear to enter credentials
What kind of credentials i have to enter here? The credentials of the Image or Azure? In what format i have to enter it? I tried Computername\User and password (e.g. ARES\Administrator and the password.
EDIT 1
with the machine credentials MyMachineName\Administrator i got the following error:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $cred = Get-Credential

Can someone help me?
Kind Regards
For Set-AzureRmVMOperatingSystem you will need to enter the credentials of the virtual machine. So the format would be the local administrator account and password at this stage.

i'am trying to excute a shell script to an azure linux virtual machine using powershell
Why I'm i using powershell? :
The virtual machine has a Copied VHD from storage account which means it doesn't have Azure VM agent
so i can't use :
azure vm extentions
azure vm Runs
i tried also using an automation runbook with the ssh module and got those errors :
Exception calling "Connect" with "0" argument(s): "Server HMAC algorithm not found" At C:\Modules\User\SSH\SSH.psm1:68 char:5 + $SSHConnection.Connect() + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SshConnectionException
and

which is based on my understanding caused by the vm that is missing KexAlgorithms to describe which methods are supported by the SSH daemon
What i'm trying to do now is to ssh into the vm and excute the command using powershell
here is what i got now (a Powershell scripot to ssh into the vm and excute a command):
$Password = "pwd"
$User = "pwd"
$ComputerName = "ip adress"
$Command = "touch tst.txt"
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force
$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($User, $secpasswd)
echo 'logging...'
$SessionID = New-SSHSession -ComputerName $ComputerName -Credential $Credentials #Connect Over SSH
echo 'Executing...'
$output = (Invoke-SSHCommand -Index $SessionID -Command $Command).Output
Remove-SSHSession -Name $SessionID | Out-Null
im getting this error :
Invoke-SshCommand : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Index'.
At C:\Users\octoadmin\Desktop\sign in.ps1:11 char:30

+ ~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-SshCommand], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Invoke-SshCommand
i looked in the internet but couldn't find anything.
apparently the ssh invoke command can't find a session with the index $SessionID
but i don't know where exactly is the problem
hope someone can guide me to the right direction.
Updating Posh-SSH worked for me with this code :
to install Posh-SSH :
Install-Module -Name Posh-SSH -RequiredVersion 2.1
The Script:
$Command = "fetch $scripturl; sh script.sh"
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force
$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($User, $secpasswd)
$ComputerName = Get-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName $RG -Name $IPName | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ipAddress
echo 'ip is : '
echo $ComputerName
echo 'logging...'
$SessionID = New-SSHSession -ComputerName $ComputerName -AcceptKey -Credential $Credentials
echo 'Exucuting...'
$Query = (Invoke-SshCommand -SSHSession $SessionID -Command $Command).Output
echo $Query
Remove-SSHSession -Name $SessionID | Out-Null
I have a primary SCCM server - "ABC"
Later I installed SCCM console and PowerShell Module on one more machine - "XYZ"
I am running below script from server - "OPQ" and trying to remote "XYZ" (on which i installed SCCM Console Recently)

$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName "XYZ" -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $Cred -ConfigurationName Microsoft.PowerShell32

Well it appears you have a permissions issue. Here is how I executed a remote command in my SCCM environment, via my PSS:
$device = Invoke-Command -Session $sess -ScriptBlock {
Import-Module (Join-Path (Split-Path $env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH)
ConfigurationManager.psd1)
Push-Location -Path ((Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\SMS" -Class
"SMS_ProviderLocation" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SiteCode) + ":")
Get-CMDevice -Name $env:COMPUTERNAME
Pop-Location
}
$device

ADLastLogonTime : 3/31/2020 11:23:38 PM

...
Note that if you're not remoting to your PSS, you will need to specify your PSS in the Get-WmiObject command, e.g.:
(Get-WmiObject -ComputerName [YOUR PSS] -Namespace "root\SMS" -Class "SMS_ProviderLocation" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SiteCode) + ":"
I was able to resolve this issue by saving the credentials on the XYZ server and then calling them under my INvoke-Command.
Like This :
$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName "XYZ"
Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock {
$password = Get-Content -Path D:\Creds\creds.txt | ConvertTo-SecureString
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("domain\UserId", $password)
Then the rest of the code. ... .. . . .
}
I have a script which needs to run from remote by passing on credentials in the script as as below:-
$UserName = Read-Host "Enter User Name:"
$Password = Read-Host -AsSecureString "Enter Your Password:"
$Credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $UserName , $Password
Set-Service -Name HiTrust -StartupType Automatic -ComputerName ServerName -credential $Credential
(Get-Service -Name "HiTrust" -credential $Credential -ComputerName ServerName).Start()
Exit
However I keep on getting error as below:-
Set-Service : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'System.Management.Automation.PSCredential'.
At C:\Users\ucub\Desktop\Test.ps1:9 char:15

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Service], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetServiceCommand
If you are on this PSVersion and below, here is your root cause of why this fails on Set-Service...
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

You have unneeded stuff in the script as well.
I suggest refactoriung to this

$ServerName = Read-Host 'Enter a target server name:'
$ServiceName = Read-Host 'Enter a target service name:'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ServerName -ScriptBlock {
"Executing service actions on $env:COMPUTERNAME"
Set-Service -Name $ServiceName -StartupType Automatic
Start-Service -Name $ServiceName
} -Credential (Get-Credential -Credential "$env:USERDOMAIN\$env:USERNAME")
The Problem is, that set-service doesn't have a credential parameter. Look here
Try something like this:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName $computername -Credential $credentials
Set-Service -Name HiTrust -StartupType Automatic
or
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computername -Credential $credential -ScriptBlock {Set-Service -Name HiTrust -StartupType Automatic}
So close but so far...
I am trying to change a local administrator password on a Windows server using [ADSI] & PowerShell but I cannot find a way to pass a string variable when invoking and get the following error:
Exception calling "Invoke" with "2" argument(s): "Number of parameters specified does not match the expected number."
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodTargetInvocation
+ PSComputerName : vmdeploytest1
This works, with the string in the statement:
$vmName = "vmdeploytest1"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $vmName -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock {
$account = [ADSI]("WinNT://localhost/Administrator,user")
$account.psbase.invoke("setpassword","Password123")
}
This doesn't:
$vmName = "vmdeploytest1"
$password = '"Password123"'
$invoke = '"setpassword",'
$invokeStr = $invoke + $password
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $vmName -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock {
$account = [ADSI]("WinNT://localhost/Administrator,user")
$account.psbase.invoke($invokeStr)
}
This doesn't
$vmName = "vmdeploytest1"
$password = '"Password123"'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $vmName -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock {
$account = [ADSI]("WinNT://localhost/Administrator,user")
$account.psbase.invoke("setpassword",$password)
}
This doesn't:
$vmName = "vmdeploytest1"
$password = 'Password123'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $vmName -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock {
$account = [ADSI]("WinNT://localhost/Administrator,user")
$account.psbase.invoke("setpassword",$password)
}
All giving the same error. I need to be able to use a variable because I am going to generate a random password.
Jeroen Mostert is Correct
When you pass variables into a ScriptBlock you need to prefix them with $using:
For example:
$vmName = "vmdeploytest1"
$password = 'Password123'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $vmName -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock {
$account = [ADSI]("WinNT://localhost/Administrator,user")
$account.psbase.invoke("setpassword",$using:password)
}
I'm trying to deploy Azure VM's thru a workflow so it could be done in parallel. The code works fine outside of a workflow. But getting this error when trying to do it thru a workflow.
I'm importing the VM parameters thru a csv file.
Are there additional considerations for deploying Azure VM's thru a Workflow?
Workflow Deploy-VMs {
$cred1= New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential "User",$(ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -asplaintext -force)
$b=Import-Csv Y:\NLG\vms1.csv -Verbose|? type -eq 'VM'

$nic = New-AzureRmNetworkInterface -Name $c.Name -ResourceGroupName nlg -Location $c.Location -SubnetId $c.SubnetID
$cred= New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential "nladmin",$(ConvertTo-SecureString $c.Password -asplaintext -force)
$vmConfig = New-AzureRmVMConfig -VMName $c.Name -VMSize "Standard_D1"
