CURRENT VERSION: 4

Important: This Powerpack needs version 4.0 U1 of PowerCLI



This PowerPack contains a variety of scripts from Virtu-al.net and now other blogs such as ict-freak.nl and ntpro.nl transformed and enhanced into a useful PowerPack for both VESI and PowerGUI.

In order to use this PowerPack you will need the 'VMware Infrastructure Management' PowerPack (http://powergui.org/entry.jspa?externalID=1802&categoryID=290) installed and need to connect using the connection through that PowerPack, this is a concious decisison as my intent is not to replicate the great work done as part of that PowerPack but purely to add functionality for every day VMware Information needed by consultants and VMware Admins.

This is an early version, some of the nodes will need enhancing to work with every environment.

Suggestions and Requests gratefully received !

Just installed VMware Community PowerPack, but couldn't find "Managed Hosts" folder! I have to install an older pack to get started.

The Managed Hosts folder comes from the VMware Infrastructure Management PowerPack.

Thanks. That's exactly what I did. But does it make "VMware Infrastructure Management PowerPack" a required dependency? It'll be confusing for the first-timer not able to find the folder.

I agree. It would be better if that PowerPack was specifically listed as a requirement on this page and if this PowerPack detected and notified users if the other PowerPack was not installed. I'll contact the author directly about it.
