Use SMA to run commands inside VM created from WAP

Question

Hello,
I didnt find any SMA specific forum, so I post here.
Im new to SMA and have a question that I cant find the answer to.
We are about to deploy a new Hyper-V/SC/WAP enviroment.
We use virtual networks and I have problem to connect and execute powershell on the virtual machines.
I want to do some cutomizations on the VM after they are deployed (Windows Server 2012R2) from a Gallery item in WAP.
In VM Clouds in Service Management Portal I have activated an Automation with Object = MicrosoftCompute VMRole and Action = Create.
In my Runbook I check the status on the creation of the VM and when the status is complete I want to execute some powershell on the new server.
So far so good, but here is my problem, I cant connect to the new VM.
I have tried:
$ComputerName = $ResourceObject.ComputerName
InlineScript {
Get-Service | Out-File “c:\test.txt”
} -PSComputerName $ComputerName
I have tired to add -PSCredential after -PSComputername aswell.
The Runbook will enter a Suspended state with the following exception:
Connecting to remote server Fredrik-Test failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authentication: Cannot find the computer Fredrik-Test.
It looks like SMA have no clue how to access the new VM.
I went to the VMM server and ran the following script:
$adminpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString “xxxxx” -AsPlainText -Force
$adminCredentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential (“administrator”, $adminpasswd)
$VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq ‘Computer013′}
Invoke-Command -Computername $VM.ComputerName -ScriptBlock {Get-Service | Out-File “c:\test.txt”} -credential $adminCredentials
And there I got same error:
[Computer013] Connecting to remote server Computer013 failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request because the server name canno
t be resolved. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
+ CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (Computer013:String) [], PSRemotingTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComputerNotFound,PSSessionStateBroken
How do I run commands inside the VM that is created from WAP in a Tenant cloud and use virtual network ?

Answer 1

I get same error.
Because I use Network Virtualization it looks like SMA or VMM cant find the VM.
But how does it work if you for example make a gallery item that will install SQL.
In that case the server will be installed from the original image with only the OS and then the SQL server will be installed after.
How does the VMM/SPF communicate with the VM to install the SQL server? Bacause when installing the SQL server it mounts a VHD with the media and trigger the install localy on the VM.
So, somehow it must be possible to communicate with the VM without using NAT and go through the Gateway server?
