Script to add VMs to Virtual Server

Want to register multiple existing VMs (or just one for that matter) to Virtual Server a bit quicker than going through the GUI? I wrote a little script that will register existing .vmc files. It might come in handy.

The script can be used in two ways: by dubble-clicking it in the directory where your .vmc files are located, or by dragging a.vmc file on to of it. (or passing it as a command-line parameter).

'Registers all VMC files in the current directory, except when one or more .VMC file
' are given as a argument; in that case those VMC will be registered.

Dim objFSO, objVS
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objVS = CreateObject("VirtualServer.Application")

On Error resume next

If Wscript.Arguments.Count <> 0 Then
'Register the VMC files given as parameters

    For i = 0 to Wscript.Arguments.Count – 1
     Err.Clear
   
     If Right(Wscript.Arguments(i),4) = ".vmc" then
 Set objVM = objVS.RegisterVirtualMachine("", Wscript.Arguments(i))    
 If Err.Number <> 0 Then  
  WScript.Echo "Registration of ‘" & Wscript.Arguments(i) & " NOT successful: " & Err.Description
 Else
  WScript.Echo "Registration of ‘" & Wscript.Arguments(i) & " successful"
 End If
     End If        
    Next

Else
'Register the VMC files in the current directory

  'Obtain an folder object instance for the current directory
  Dim objFolder
  Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(".")
 
  Dim objFile
  For Each objFile in objFolder.Files
     On Error resume next
     If Right(objFile.Name,4) = ".vmc" then
 Set objVM = objVS.RegisterVirtualMachine("", objFile)    
      If Err.Number <> 0 Then  
  WScript.Echo "Registration of ‘" & objFile.Name & " NOT successful: " & Err.Description
 Else
  WScript.Echo "Registration of ‘" & objFile.Name & " successful"
 End If
     end if
  Next
End If
