  by Out-GridView looks great, cool script

  How about listing the number of VMs per Resource Pool?

  Thanks.

  For some reason this doesn’t work for hosts that have only one VM on them. The number of VMs in that case shows blank, as if there were no VMs at all on the host.
  Is there a workaround?
  Thanks

  @Mike
  My Fault, I didn’t make sure the results were always an array so the count didn’t work if it was 1, try this:

  Get-VMHost | Select @{N=”Cluster”;E={Get-Cluster -VMHost $_}}, Name, @{N=”NumVM”;E={@($_ | Get-VM).Count}} | Sort Cluster, Name | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation c:\clu-host-numvm.csv
