Get-Advanced / Set-Advanced

$

I was pretty ok with the old Get-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration cmdlet but I'm now rewriting some scripts to to set/reset syslogs using the new commands. Can someone assist here as I don;t see where I'm going wrong:

 

$vmHosts = get-vmhost

 

foreach ($esxHost in $vmHosts)

{

Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity (Get-VMhost -Name $esxHost) -Name "Syslog.global.logDir" | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value $logHost -Confirm:$False

  write-host "Setting LogHost for $esxHost to $logHost"

 

Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity (Get-VMhost -Name $esxHost) -Name "Syslog.global.defaultRotate" | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value $logRotate -Confirm:$false

  write-host "Setting Log Rotation for $esxHost to $logRotate"

}

 

Couple of problems here:

  • It prompts for confirmation to change the settings unless I put the confirm:$False switch in
  • It doesn't actually change the settings even if I remove the Confirm switch and approve the change manually.
  • Each setting outputs the following type to console:

Uid : /VIServer=domain\user@myvcenter:443/VMHost=HostSystem-host-236/AdvancedSetting=VMHostSetting-Syslog.global.defaultSize/

Value : 10240

Description :

Type : VMHost

Entity : ESXhostname.domain.mine

Id : VMHostSetting-Syslog.global.defaultSize

Name : Syslog.global.defaultSize

Client : VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.VimClient

 

I have the feeling I'm missing something simple?
