Re: get useful vm information with guest OS

Hi LucD,

I am using following script

filter Get-FolderPath {
$vm | % {
$fol = "" | select Name, Path
$fol.Name = $vm.Name

$current = Get-View $vm.Parent
#        $path = $_.Name # Uncomment out this line if you do want the VM Name to appear at the end of the path
$path = ""
do {
$parent = $current
if($parent.Name -ne "vm"){$path = $parent.Name + "\" + $path}
$current = Get-View $current.Parent
} while ($current.Parent -ne $null)
$fol.Path = $path
$fol
}
}

$report = @()
$vms = Get-View -ViewType "virtualmachine"
foreach($vm in $vms){
foreach($dev in $vm.Config.Hardware.Device){
if(($dev.gettype()).Name -eq "VirtualDisk"){
$data = "" | select VMName, FolderName, PowerState, HostName, ClusterName, OSVersion, OSEdition, GuestIPAddress, ToolsStatus, NumCPU, MemoryMB, DeviceInfo, CapacityInGB, Datastore
$data.VMName = $vm.Name
$OSV = Get-WmiObject -computername $vm.Name -class Win32_OperatingSystem

#$data.FolderName = (get-view -id $vm.parent).name
$data.FolderName = ($vm | Get-Folderpath).Path
$data.PowerState = $vm.runtime.powerstate
$data.HostName = (get-view -id $vm.runtime.host).name
$clu = (get-view -id $vm.Runtime.Host).parent
$data.ClusterName = (Get-View -id $clu).name
$data.OSVersion = $vm.summary.guest.guestfullname
$data.OSEdition = $OSV.Caption
$data.GuestIPAddress = $vm.guest.ipaddress
$data.ToolsStatus = $vm.guest.toolsstatus
$data.NumCPU = $vm.config.hardware.numcpu
$data.MemoryMB = $vm.config.hardware.MemoryMB
$data.DeviceInfo = $dev.deviceinfo.label
$data.CapacityInGB = [system.math]::Round($dev.CapacityInKB / 1048576)
$data.Datastore = $dev.backing.filename.split("]")[0].trim("[")
$report += $data
}
}
}
#$report | Export-Csv C:\VMReport\csvfiles\NAPVMReport.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
$report = $report | Sort-Object FolderName
IF ($Report -ne "") {
$report | Export-Csv C:\VMReport.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
}

I've added the WMIObject class, but I am getting following error. and I would like draw your attention that we are having multiple domain and forest environment
