Good whatever time you are in,
In the Avamar as server backup solution, we take Guest level backup, Application (Oracle, SQL server, Exchange..etc.) backups or VM snapshot backup.
Now, for the guest level backup you can use "msiexec ..etc." command to install client and register it with avamar from the client side. But when it comes to VM snapshot backup, it has to be configured from Avamar side. This task is painful if you are migrating from old backup solution like networker to avamar and specially when number of VMs is more than 500.
So, I decided to write script to deploy the VMs accepting the required inputs, searching for the client in the vcenter, adding it and adding the client to the respective group.
The only type of VM clients you can't add is VM client with "spaces" inside the name.
Check and your feedback is appreciated.
