scripts for creating ilo usernames on mutiple servers

[Andrew_R]

Hi all.

I have a project to do which requires creating a read only ilo user account on +- 300 ProLiant rack and blade server. They cover the whole range of ilo from 2 to 5 but the bulk are gen 7- Gen 9 servers.

Are there any ilo powershell or similar scripts I could use to automate this process so that I don't have to log onto each ilo to do this?

Thanks for the help

There may be something for powershell, but I've always used the RIBCL scripts for Linux (and Windows)
