  Getting can't index null array on the line

  If ($Hint.Device -eq $vmhost.Config.Network.Pnic[$ <<<< record].

  It seems to loop there. Any suggestions? Also what program did you use to compile this, how do you code this?

  Sorry about that, the blog took some of the formatting out, I have changed it so you should be able to get the working version now.

  Worked flawless for me… Thank you very much…
  Can you please add the Virtual Switch Name “vSwtich1″ to the table as well? Your Scripts rock, Great job!

  @Wolficool
  Line 4 which starts $vmhosts = Get-VMHost…….

  Change it to $vmhosts = Get-Cluster “MyCluster” | Get-VMHost…..

  That should do the trick

  How can we add the port group names to this? IE, the console port names, etc.

  Great script. Is it much work to have the vlanid field sorted ascending? at the moment it prints out ” 1 2 3 4″, then next line “4 2 3 1″ etc..

  Concerning dvSwitches…. it does show some properties but not d()vSwitch name and PrtInUse

  Yeah I know the issue, some of the properties for that object are not the same as Standard vSwitches so it doesnt work properly.
