Script to find all the VMS with dates/no tools installed.

Hey,.

I need help guys.  I need a script that finds all VMS in vCenter which do not have the tools installed or tools or outdated.  I also need the script to generate the following data in a CSV file.  Name of the virtual machine and the State of the tools (not installed or outdated).

Thank you guys.

Good suggestion. 'Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine' is much faster than ' Get - VM | Get-View»

You inspired me to go at maximum speed. So I moved all the filtering also to the cmdlet Get-View. The following script is used in my environment about 30% faster than what you suggested. My first script took me 1 minute 50 seconds. Your script 1,624 seconds. And the following script 1,110 seconds in an environment with about 500 virtual machines...

Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{
  "Config.Template"="False";"Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning|toolsOld"} | `
Select-Object @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}},@{Name="ToolsStatus";E={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}} | `
Export-CSV -Path VmToolsStatus.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

"Config.Template"="False" filter models so that you get only the virtual machines.

"Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled | toolsNotRunning | toolsOld" returns invited with ToolsStatus toolsNotInstalled or toolsNotRunning or toolsOld.

Thanks to Eric Wannemacher to show me how to use regular expressions in a Get - view filter in his blogpost: VMware PowerCLI and Get-View filters.

  • GREP with lookaround: impossible to find all the "." with the exception of the end of the paragraph

    Hi all

    I'm actually build an expression grep to run in an InDesign document to find all the '. '. (full stop) without any whitespace that follows, except those standing at the end of a paragraph. My approach:

    \. (?! \s) (?! $)

    For some reason any '$' does not work when it is used as a negative lookahead. In the following example, only the first '. ' is found.

    test. test.test.test.

    Not used as anticipation as here...

    \. (?! \s) [^$]


    It works very well. But unfortunately I am I need the search for only the "." is divided as a result.

    I would appreciate any advice.

    Thank you very much!

  • Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

    We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

    all stores of data seen by a cluster

    the virtual machines on the data store

    the host of the virtual machine is on

    the cluster the host is in

    The output I want is

    name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

    any help would be appreciated

    Pretty sure this will do what you need:

    $report = @()
    Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
        $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
        foreach($datastore in $datastores){
        $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
        If ($vms.count -ge 1){
            foreach($VM in $vms){
            $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                  Datastore = $datastore.Name
                  VM = $VM.Name
                  HostName = $VM.VMhost
                  Cluster = $cluster
                }
            $report += $object
            }
    
        }
        }
    }
    $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
    

    If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

    $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}
    

    Hope this helps

  • Script to list all the VMS and their scsi controller

  • PSE7: Find all the photos with a caption?

    I'm in PSE7.

    I have a subset of my pictures selected via a tag.

    Now, I want to find all images in this set which have a legend at all.

    So I do a Find / legend or note.

    Now in the next dialog is box possible I can get a wild card or something

    who will find any image that has something in it at all?

    Thanks for any help!

    You can also see the legend in the properties pane.  Not the window > properties to make the visible component and then click the arrows down double in the upper right of the pane to dock it in the keywords pane.  Now you can have several vignettes showing, and as you click on each of them, its properties (including the legend) is displayed in the properties pane.

    Another thing, you can try, if you do not use the feature of star ratings: as review you each picture, press the number 5 to set its stars out of 5 and not sure you want to change the photo.  Then, when you want to see all of the suchphotos, in the top-right search bar, click on the 5th star, and show that these photos you marked.

    A slower option is to assign a label to the photo that see you.  Then you click on the tag to see all the photos you added.

  • How to find all the Subvi value changes to a control inside a cluster?

    I have a question I've had brewing for many years now, and as of today, this issue has become less philosophical for me now that I have a VI project with hundreds of screws in there to work through... If I have a cluster which is passed between/through several subVIs, is there a way to find all reads/writes to a particular control within this cluster? For example, if I use a global variable, I can find all the instances where this variable has been changed. Several times, a cluster is used to pass data instead of lots of global variables, but I know not anyway quickly find where specific parts of the latter are read or written in subVIs. Global variables becomes a headache when they are too many of them fly around, but I can't keep track of reads/writes in bunches without manually looking through a few screws hundreds that take in the cluster. Is there a function for this that I'm not aware of? I hope that this question/problem of logic. This may prompt a discussion of architecture, which I would be happy, because I will need to build projects of this scale in the future, but I think also completely stuck when the clusters are used (by me or others) to pass data autour. Thank you! John

    If you ungroup by name and bundle by name, just do a search for text to the name of the control.

  • script to remove all the virtual machines in a folder or a group resource

    Someone at - it a script that will find all the virtual machines within a file or a group of resources and then delete the virtual machines?

    If you're dealing with a specific resource pool or a folder, you can use these.

    $vmlist = get-folder -name "TEST2"  | get-vm
    $vmlist = get-resourcepool -name TestServers | get-vm
    

    And then send it to something like this

    $vmlist | ForEach {
         If ($_.PowerState  -eq "PoweredOn")
              {
              Stop-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False
              }
         Remove-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False      }
    

    Also to find files of type VM

    get-folder -name | where {$_.IsChildTypeVM -eq "True"}
    

    Do you need to search the children files or resource pools as well?
