List VMWare VM's with attached ISO's

Problem: I need to find all VM’s with ISO’s attached to the virtual CD-Roms.

Prerequisite: VMWare PowerCLI for PowerShell

Solution:

$vCenter = "YOURVCENTERHOSTNAME"
Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core | Out-Null
Connect-VIServer -Server $vCenter | Out-Null

#The actual working code to list attached ISO's
Get-VM | Get-CDDrive | Where-Object { $_.IsoPath -ne $null } | Select-Object Parent, IsoPath | Format-Table -auto

Disconnect-VIServer * -Confirm:$false -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Good Luck!!!

Veeam PowerShell Enable Encryption on All Jobs

Scenario: Your Veeam Backups have not been set for Storage Encryption. You have a ton of Backup Jobs and Backup Copy Jobs. You have exactly one (1) Encryption Password created.

!!NOTICE!! Once you add even a single encryption password, please re-configure your Veeam “Configuration Backup” because adding a password is known to disable the Config backups!!!

Problem: Manually editing each and every jobs is tedious and time consuming, and possibly prone to error.

Solution Prerequisite: Veeam PowerShell API installed.

Solution: Veeam PowerShell Enable Encryption on all the jobs at once:

Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapIn
Disconnect-VBRServer #disconnect any prior
Connect-VBRServer -server YOURVEEAMSERVER #[-user] -[password|credential] [-port 9392]

$encryptionkey = Get-VBREncryptionKey -Description "YOURENCRYPTIONPASSWORDHINT"

$jobs = ( Get-VBRJob | Sort-Object -Property Name ) #sort is not necessity 
$jobs | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -EnableEncryption $true -EncryptionKey $encryptionkey

Good Luck!

Uncontrolled Syncthing *sync-conflict* for all or many files

Problem:

Uncontrolled Syncthing *sync-conflict* for all or many files.

Background:

I had three devices setup with syncthing for maybe a couple years now. I accidentally sudo rm -rf / my laptop. YES, true i fogort that damned period in ./ while on my SD-Card which i was trying to purge. I quickly Ctrl-C, but it was too late – what a disaster! Fortunately ~/ and my external USB Disk stayed intact for the most part. But I had to reinstall Xubuntu from scratch. After reinstalling Syncthing, the syncs kept causing many many sync-conflict files. These were mostly for large 4GB video files and conflict creation was rampant and uncontrollable. My syncs are all in my ~/SYNCfolder, so I kept performing find ~/SYNC/ -name "*sync-conflict*" -delete (after analysis that the originals were good of course), but the conflicts repeatedly resurrected. Some searches were suspect, and some solutions only worked for text files – worthless.

Tentative Solution:

I found the idea of a “database reset” referenced in a github issue, so i looked it up:

-reset-database
Reset the database, forcing a full rescan and resync. Create .stfolder
folders in each sync folder if they do not already exist. Caution:
Ensure that all sync folders which are mountpoints are already
mounted. Inconsistent versions may result if the mountpoint is later
mounted and contains older versions.

I performed syncthing -reset-database on all three devices and so far the conflicts have subsided with the exception of a couple files.
Whew, continuous uncontrollable disaster #2 averted. As for disaster #1, i’m still repairing that one.
