Is it possible to create a dynamic parameter that is generated from a command output?
Today I have a function that would pull a list of vCenters from our backup application via API. If possible, I would like my function to disable/enable backups on one of the vCenters that was generated from my get-vcenters function to be the list of my validated set in my execute-maintenance function.
Example:
get-vcenters function returns a list of vCenter name
My end goal is to have a list of vCenters that will automatically be updated, and remove the need to have to constantly update the CSV list of vCenters in the script.
If you’ve searched online for a solution to this I suspect you’ve not yet found what you’re looking for because your search term is wrong
Rather than dynamic parameters, what you’re looking for is argument completion. In PowerShell dynamic parameters is a term used to describe parameters that are only available under certain conditions.
There are several techniques to achieve this - the first link is more to the point, but the second gives a good overview of the different techniques and their limitations.
