Alan Renouf:

Nice script, would be handy for updating an intranet

Ross Brown:

A nice script, thanks for sharing

Curtis L. Smith:

Very nice work. I have found this script to be very usefull. I have a couple of suggestions.

1) Change the CSS to be part of the HTM file so that is it not dependent on the style.css file. This will make it so that the report maintains the style even when e-mailed.

ConvertTo-Html –title “VMware Health Check ” –body “Date and time”,$date -head “body { background-color:#EEEEEE; } body,table,td,th { font-family:Tahoma; color:Black; Font-Size:10pt } th { font-weight:bold; background-color:#CCCCCC; } td { background-color:white; } ” | Out-File -Append $filelocation

2) I added the following so that I could have the report send to a network share (IE. Sharepoint)

$enablnetshare=”yes”
$netshare=”\\server1\share2\subdir1\subdir2\etc.”

####################################
# Copy to Sharepoint Netowrk Share #
####################################
if ($enablnetshare -match “yes”)
{
copy $filelocation $netshare
}

Very very nice, great work! I suggest the following enhancement to see the size of each windows disk in a VM, space used, space free and percent free (not just percfree). I however did not sort by percent free as it’s sorted by VM, up to you! I used some new variables which are also listed.

##################################################
# Percentage freespace on partitions in the VM #
##################################################

$hdCapacity = @{ N = “Capacity (GB)”; E = { % { $_.Capacity / 1000000000 } } }
$hdFreeSpace = @{ N = “FreeSpace (GB)”; E = { % { $_.FreeSpace / 1000000000 } } }
$hdSpaceUsed = @{ N=”Used (GB)”; E={ ( $_.Capacity – $_.FreeSpace ) / 1000000000 } }
$hdPercFree = @{ N=”PercFree”; E={ [math]::Round( ( 100 * ( $_.FreeSpace / $_.Capacity ) ),0 ) } }

Get-VM | Where { $_.PowerState -eq “PoweredOn”} | Get-VMGuest | Select VmName -ExpandProperty Disks | Select VmName, Path, $hdCapacity, $hdSpaceUsed, $hdFreeSpace, $hdPercFree | ConvertTo-Html –title ” Percentage freespace partitions inside the VM” –body ” Percentage freespace on partitions inside the VM.” -head “” | Out-File -Append $filelocation

ph Koenig:

more simple to embedd the css

##include the css
$CssFileName=”.\style.css”
$css = Get-Content $CssFileName
$style =”"+$css+”"
## include it in the first call to the convertTo-Html
ConvertTo-Html –title “VMware… ” –body “VMware…” -head $style | Out-File $filelocation
## and remove all other -head

And the final result is a html mail with a nice look
This is working perfect in my variant of the script

Rob:

@admin

Ivo,

I’ve scheduled this script as a scheduled task with a service account with administrator rol in VC (Datacenter level). Worked perfect untill we upgraded to VC2.5U4.

What could be the reason??

Also the VI Toolkit got updated, maybe this is the reason?

Current VI Toolkit version:

VI Toolkit Version
——————
VMware VI Toolkit for Windows 1.5 build 142961

Any help muchely appreciated!

Pramod:

This is a amazing script . It helped my 2 weeks work .. !!

Is there a script which would help me to disconnect CRDOM’s on bunch of VM’s at a shot

Jose:

Can you send me the updated script?
