If you add the following code into Al's script: If ($RunningLimit -lt 192){ Write-Host " CHANGING to 192...." $ESXHost |Set-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration -Name "Misc.RunningVCpuLimit" -Value 192 } ... right after the line that displays the limit, then you can raise the limits on all of your hosts.

I am going to include some memory and cpu stats in the daily report but contension is already covered by %RDY, after all you could have hundreds of under utilised vms on a host and all be fine. @q

The ratio of vCPUs to pCPUs describes CPU oversubscription and is useful when troubleshooting some performance issues... Might even be a useful addition to the daily report! :) Thanks!
