Do you have multiple authentication domains configured in your ucs domain or are you just using local users? Thanks ... View more

Ravi, Make sure you are using the UCS_Health_Check_v2.4.ps1.zip version and not UCS_Health_Check_Offline_v2.4.zip if you want to be able to view the html file without the offline dependency files. Thanks ... View more

Ravi, Did you create the emailed report with the offline version of the script? Also, Please re-download the script if you grabbed it in the past 24 hours.  I had a mistake in my original 2.4 post that would cause the issue you are describing. Thanks ... View more

Ravi, I'll post an instructional video shortly. Thanks ... View more

Sorry for the delayed response and thanks everyone for the community support.  i've attached updated versions that should work for any version of the powertool and fixed the timestamp issue (that was my mistake). Please let me know if you still have issues. Thanks ... View more

Frank, Does it work when you execute the script with .\UCS_Health_Check_v2.3.ps1 -UseCached locally from powershell?  If this works then it should also work as a scheduled task.  Here's an example entry from a ucs cache file 10.90.5.50,readonly,01000000d08c9ddf0115d1118c7a00c04fc297eb01000000513f07d55b38184f8c403af336810cd20000000002000000000010660000000100002000000066be6ca56627eabcd266100a33415f25b41a7cf263e67d412e9e21e1400af4b8000000000e8000000002000020000000007d152a0ba8739d2c66cf15cb1e30fc1a4730a400b0a466f526cc992a503fda200000005debff6faa96eb7446062339eb2b19078fb7e6d7ed96985a5625278a727b0f58400000002b7f34167155c77ea445dbc08e9e0f2b729bc12101ebc4f3d54930455af955991bc62d398cf2775752819428a49e6000bcc677dfdeb742ab133183c6b409fceb This is all one line.  The first value is the dns or ip of the virtual IP for the domain, second is the username, and third is the hashed password.  If you cache multiple domains then you would have one line per domain in your cache file.  When passing the -UseCached parameter, the health check script will iterate through each of these lines and attempt to connect to each using the cached credentials.

Frank, You will need to cache the credentials for all domains you want to run the report against.  This is done under menu 1 (sounds like you've already done this).  Next, you need to execute the script with the following syntax: .\UCS_Health_Check_v2.3.ps1 -UseCached -RunReport -Silent or .\UCS_Health_Check_v2.3.ps1 -UseCached -RunReport -Silent -Email user@domain.com For the latter option you'll need to define the smtp variables at the beginning of the script.  Below is a description of the parameters UseCached - connects to all domains stored in the ucs cache file.  The cache file needs to be located in the same directory as the executing script RunReport - Runs the health check report without having to navigate the menu (still requires you name the report) Silent - Same as run report with the addition of auto naming the deliverable file and exiting the script after execution Email - emails the report to the specified email account (requires smtp variables to be configured at top of script) If you still have issues let me know and we can troubleshoot over a webex.

This should be fixed now.  Please let me know if you still have issues though. Thanks ... View more

Chadwick, The progress bar is a best effort at keeping you informed of the overall progress but each section of the report can vary in terms of completion times.  There is usually a stall at the 72% mark due to the amount of data being processed in that particular section.  The completion time can vary greatly based on the amount of CPU and memory on the executing host along with the latency of your connection to ucsm. I've seen the same report take 2 minutes to complete at one location and 20 minutes to complete at another.  Try monitoring your cpu and memory resources while running the script.  This shouldn't be a proxy issue or other parts of the script would fail as well.

Great idea John but unfortunately there aren't any external tools i know of that allow for polling support contract details.  I could create a reports page that allows you to download the serial numbers into a csv but you'd have to work through a partner or cisco rep to get the contract details. If we ever release an external portal with an API to expose this contract data then we could add this to the health check report. ... View more

Yes this will work with an AD user account.  How you format the username depends on your default authentication method.  If your default is local (which it is by default) then you'd format the username as: ucs-<Domain Name>\userName where <Domain Name> is the case sensitive name you gave the AD domain in UCS Manager. If your default authentication is set to LDAP then you simply use the username and password without the ucs-<Domain Name> Please let me know if you have any issues. Thanks ... View more

Jim nailed it.  Setup a scheduled task on a windows box that is preferentially always on.  Be sure to cache your login credentials before scheduling the task and have the credentials in the same directory as the script. Once you have your credentials cached use the following syntax .\UCS_Health_Check_v2.1.ps1 -UseCached -RunReport -Silent -Email Only pass the email argument if you want a copy of the report emailed to you (be sure to edit the email script variables before enabling the email option). Let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks ... View more
