VI Toolkit Quick Reference Guide

I’m currently sat in Heathrow Airport Terminal 1, I have just found a nice Zurich stand where they give you place to sit, a plug for the laptop and even an Ethernet cable with free Internet access, how nice is that !

So I thought I would best use my time to upload a Quick Reference guide to the VI Toolkit, hopefully I will be handing a few of these out at VMWorld but thought I would also add it to my blog for those of you who were unable to make it.

If you are interested in getting started with the VI Toolkit then print off the attached pdf file on a duplex printer, fold it in half and you have the ultimate getting started guide.

Thanks to C.Shanklin, S.Herold, L.Dekens and C.Bunch for their help with the editing and for the one-liners.

Have Fun !

A few times in PowerGUI or generally I have needed the user to select a single entity so that I can use this entity further in the code to narrow down the output, with this in mind i created a quick PrimalForms form which can be used as a function and a single object selected,

PowerCLI Book Update

As we announced in our post “We’re writing a book!”, Luc and myself started writing a PowerCLI book. At about the same time I got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join EMC as a vSpecialist, how could I turn that down ! Now you don’t become a vSpecialist for free, I have been spending a fair

A little while back I started a PowerPack which could be used in either PowerGUI or vEcoShell – the application formerly known as “The Virtualisation EcoShell or VESI, my PowerPack was a collection of the most used scripts from my site all laid out in a nice GUI format. Now why would you put a

I was recently contacted via my blog and asked if there was a way to find the VMs which are not named in vCenter the same as they are in Active Directory or their hostname, the person contacting me had explained that someone had “accidently” renamed a number of VMs and when there was an

You may have noticed a distinct lack of posts from me recently, I have been on holiday, I had a great time staying in Belgium and The Netherlands, a fantastic country which I would recommend to anyone thinking about travelling in northern Europe, not just for the red lights or “space cakes” either !
