The output command doesnt output anything… not sure why.

Is there a way to output this to HTML? or a CSV?

Actually I would do….

command(s) | Out-File c:\path\filename.txt

@vuong This is one of the things included in my Daily Report script but I have also altered the post above to show how to do this.

Can we modify the script to show ALL VMs built in last time period given?

Very cool, I really need to go back and look at all the new cmdlets. Half the stuff I still do with Get-View have real cmdlets now! I would suggest using the -match operator… Slightly faster and easier to read.

Get-VIEvent -maxsamples 10000 |
where-Object {$_.Gettype().Name -match “(VmCreatedEvent|VmBeingClonedEvent|VmBeingDeployedEvent)“} |
Sort-object CreatedTime -Descending |
Select-Object CreatedTime, UserName, FullformattedMessage -First 10
