Copy-vmguestfile :: Copying data from powercli to a guest virtual machine, even an isolated machine!

Did you know you can copy files to a vm using virtual tools?
This would be great for disconnected or isolated vms that need files.






Checking if vmware tools are installed





Disconnecting NIC

Notice there is no C:\temp

After connecting to the vsphere with powershell

Now I want to copy some files

Copy-VMGuestFile -Source "c:\temp\tftp.iso" -Destination "c:\temp\"   -VM 250-tftp          

-GuestToLocal   -GuestUser username -GuestPassword  enterpasswordhere

You will see it sppear to do nothing that’s because its copying files

Look files copied over!!!!
