Code:

Get-VM | Get-Snapshot | `
    Select @{Name="VM"; Expression={$_.VM.Name}},
           @{Name="VM_Description"; Expression={$_.VM.Description}},
           @{Name="Snapshot"; Expression={$_.Name}},
           @{Name="Snapshot_Description"; Expression={$_.Description}}

Added a little line to get snapshot creation date:

Code:

Get-VM | Get-Snapshot | `
Select  @{Name="VM"; Expression={$_.VM.Name}},
           @{Name="VM_Description"; Expression={$_.VM.Description}},
           @{Name="Snapshot"; Expression={$_.Name}},
           @{Name="Snapshot_Description"; Expression={$_.Description}},
           @{Name="Snapshot_Created"; Expression={$_.Created}}

And you could export it to what ever... (xml, csv)

Hehe!

Just waiting for respons on my freshly sent email containing a list of 110 snapshots. Some of them "a few" months old.  (oldest from 2007).

whoppie.

Being a consultant rocks... Getting all the fun clean up jobs.

FYI

My script based on this is now REALLY slow. When I first ran it, some months back, it took 10 minutes. Now it uses more than one hour. I have been troubleshooting this, and came to the conclusion that get-snapshot cmdlet has had some dramatic performance issues after installing 4.0 U1.

I found some others that have experienced it on the vmware community site:

your absolutely correct, the get-snapshot command-let appears to be having some issues... I am experiencing the same results that you are.
