How to create an effective script that mass deletes snapshots

our company is currently using a product that drives the operating system and software updates for our virtual machines and takes a snapshot before pushing updates in case something breaks. the problem is that the same software does not remove the pictures until next update button and you're just too long we wait with snapshots lying around. what I did to remedy this situation is I built the below script and configured it as a task.

# Add the snap-snap powercli in
Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

# Connect to an instance of vCenter
$strviserver = "vCenterServer".
SE connect-VIServer $strviserver

# Get all of the snapshots for each virtual machine in the vcenter, then delete them
Get - VM | Get-Snapshot - name "updates" | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $false

# Remove the snap-snap powercli in
Remove-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

It works, but it is not nearly as effective as I wish it were. Essentially, the script currently removes a snapshot at a time right now. I want so he can find any snapshot on this server vcenter by the same specified name and submit the task deletion-Snapshot for each snapshot at the same time. This should cause a lot of tasks to try and tail. The effective result would be that vCenter will treat all instant destruction because it has resources to do in a given time and will address the queue there resources.  If someone can tell me how to do this or something better, I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

You can consider using the RunAsync switch on the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot .

In this way, that the script will continue while delete the snapshot is still running.

Note that there is obviously that a limit on how many parallel snapshot removes that may occur due to the resources available.

    First, After Effects is your best friend for the effects.

    The main effect is quite easy, really, as shown here:

    It's a little more than an inner shadow or glow in my opinion.

    You need to a darker edge to a lighter edge as well. The image below shows how to create a basic effect cant manually in Illustrator. For an overlay effect, change forms clear and dark, applying the lighter forms for the lower edge and darker forms and the top edge. This, combined with an interior glow will lend to an appearance more Medallion.
