(Using Nitro updated script)

Tried so many different option, embedding foreach ($vm) into the same script but couldnt get it to work.

In the end, created another script with
$vms = get-vm
foreach ($vm in $vms)
{
C:\getvmsize(“$vm”)
}
worked for me.

just have to find out how to append the output to a report.
thanks again.

You need to call this function inside a loop (and for each return, add it to a report).

For instance, mine is modified to only pull snapshot size but I basically do:

Write-Host “`Gathering info on $VIServer…”
$VMWithSnaps = Get-VM | Get-Snapshot
$VMWithSnapsGroup = $VMWithSnaps | Group-Object VM

That gets me an array of VM’s with snapshots. Then I simply call this function from withing a loop and add it to my report array.

$Report1 = @()
$VMWithSnapsGroup | Foreach-Object {
“do all the things I want it to do”
$Report1 += $object

Then at the end, I email myself the report.

$HTMLReport = $Report1 | ConvertTo-Html
send-SMTPmail $EmailTo $EmailFrom “Snapshots Exist” $SMTPSRV $HTMLReport

I’m sure Nitro has a better way … I’m just a sys admin, not a programmer.

You could use:
Get-VM | Select-Object Name,@{N=”Size”; E={Get-VmSize($_)/1GB}}

I have been trying to run this against all vm’s, not just one but its seems to just give me a total of all vm’s rather than individual totals.

any ideas?

My modified script just pulls “delta.vmdk” and the vmsn file, then adds them up and divides by 1mb.

I will give you credit if/when I pass mine along to my friends who were also looking for a snapshot size feature!

trentwtaylor at gmail if you want it.
