In-Depth Information
To create Orchestrator runbooks that can use activities that perform tasks in VMM, you
configure VMM integration for Orchestrator. To configure the VMM connector for Orchestra-
tor, perform the following steps:
1.
Ensure that the VMM integration pack is installed on the Orchestrator server.
Ensure that the VMM Administration console is installed on the Orchestrator server. It
is possible to configure the connector without a local deployment of the VMM console,
but this is a more complicated process than installing the console on the Orchestrator
server.
2.
Ensure that the Windows PowerShell initiation policy on the Orchestrator server is set
to Remote Signed.
3.
In the Options menu of the Orchestrator Runbook Designer, click SC 2012 Virtual Ma-
chine Manager.
4.
On the SC 2012 Virtual Machine Manager dialog box, click Add.
5.
On the Add Configuration dialog box, specify the name of the connection. Next to
type, click the ellipsis (…).

On the Item Selection page, click System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
