Code:

$FullName = @{ Label = "Product Full Name"; Expression = { (Get-View $_.ID).Config.Product.fullname } }
Get-VMHost | Sort-object name | ft name,$fullname

Hi esarakaitis

Cool script!. How would you pipe this script to an html file? I've used the Select-Object method but can't get it to work with Product full name.

Thanks

[esarakaitis]

well, im not sure... i've never used convertto-html

im guessing something like:

Code:

$FullName = @{ Label = "Product Full Name"; Expression = { (Get-View $_.ID).Config.Product.fullname } }
$data = Get-VMHost | Sort-object name | ft name,$fullname
$data | convertto-html > c:\index.html

it's still not working. I get jibberish in the htm file.

[esarakaitis]

im getting the same jibberish as well... hmmm

Thx for posting this script esarakaitis.  I'm getting the following error when I run it though:

out-lineoutput : The object of type "Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatStartData" is not valid or not in the correct sequence. This is likely caused by a user-specified "format-table" command which is conflicting with the default formatting.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: ( [out-lineoutput], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConsoleLineOutputOutOfSequencePacket,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutLineOutputCommand

Any thoughts?

Thx for the quick response.  I found the problem.  I modified this script by adding an initial line to connect to my VM Host:

Connect-VIServer vmhost1


When I run the script this way, it throws the error I posted.  If I leave this line out and run your script as is (after initially connecting to my VMHost, of course) it works beautifully.

none of my scripts contain a connect-viserver string. It is assumed that your already connected
