DX Unified Infrastructure Management

The attached script will return a set of PowerShell objects representing robots when run on a Nimbus Hub server.

I plan to use it so I can compare the list of computers in Nimbus with the list of computers in Active Directory to find any computers that are not currently being monitored.

If you are using PowerShell and would like to see more support from Nimbus, please ask for it.

Update: The script will only work from a 32-bit PowerShell session as nimbus.dll is 32-bit.

Cheers,

Chris

You should be able to download it now. If not, feel free to email me and I'll send you a copy directly.

Hi Chris,

I looked your script, it's great, but it' requires local service.

Do you know how to connect to remote Domain/Hub with credential in Powershell?

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I cant find the file that you attach.

Where i can download the script?

Thanks,

Alex

I also am very interested in getting the script.

Here's a simple example script utilizing the .Net SDK. It requires that a robot is installed on the machine and you have nimbusapi.dll in your c:\temp or some other folder.

add-type -path c:\temp\nimbusapi.dll


function new-uimlogin {
  [CmdletBinding()]
  param (
        [parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)]
        [string]$Username,
        
        [parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=1)]
        [string]$Password
    )
    PROCESS {
  [Nimsoft.NimBUS.Messaging.NimbusSession]$s =  New-Object -TypeName Nimsoft.NimBUS.Messaging.NimbusSession
  $global:sid = $s.login($Username, $Password, $false)
  $s.Dispose()
    }
}


function get-uimhub {
  [CmdletBinding()]
  param (
        [parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=0)]
        [string]$Ip = 127.0.0.1,
        
        [parameter(Mandatory=$false, Position=1)]
        [int]$Port = 48002
    )
    PROCESS {
  [Nimsoft.NimBUS.Messaging.NimbusSession]$s =  New-Object -TypeName Nimsoft.NimBUS.Messaging.NimbusSession -argumentlist $Ip, $Port, $global:sid
  [Nimsoft.NimBUS.Messaging.Request]$request = [Nimsoft.NimBUS.Messaging.Request]$req = New-Object -TypeName Nimsoft.NimBUS.Messaging.Request -ArgumentList gethubs
  $hubs = $s.SendMessage($req)


  $hubCol = @()


  foreach ($pds in $hubs.gettablepdss("hublist")) {
  $hubObj = new-object -type PSObject
  foreach ($key in $pds.getkeys()) {
  $hubObj | add-member -type noteproperty -name $key -value $pds.getvalueasstring($key)
  }
  $hubCol += $hubObj
  }
  $s.Dispose()

  $hubCol
    }
}

and here's how to use it

ipmo <filename>.ps1
new-uimlogin -username <user> -password <pass>
get-hub # if on a hub machine
get-hub -ip <ip> # if on a robot

Exactly what I was looking for.  A great foundation for building a module.
