I used this edit to not show certain datastores that I knew would be low on space as they were sized specifically for certain volumes. You could probably do the same for excluding those VMs.

I defined this up in the Detail Setting section:
$NIQDSDoNotInclude = “whattoremove*”

And then here is the updated code for the datastore part:
Write-CustomOut “Collecting Datastore Objects”
$Datastores = Get-Datastore | Sort Name | Where { $_.Name -notmatch $NIQDSDoNotInclude }

Using ; did not work, but using just a , worked fine. I left no spaces, not sure if that’s required or not. Thanks.

@Travis
There is no Generic dont report on this VM, you would need to alter the code in the same way I have for the LVMDoNotInclude.

Yeah I think you can add a ; or a , to seperate the email addresses, should work, if not let me know !

Is there a way to send this to more than 1 email address? Getting a dist list setup in this environment is hard. Thanks, great script.

How do you set a VM to not be reported on? I tried adding a VM under the $LVMDoNotInclude = ” VM-name”. But Im still getting reports on the one. Thanks

[...] yet to try these scripts out but if these do what they say they can do and are anything like his vcheck tool then I can’t wait to get them to make my daily job [...]

Logged onto HOST through ILO and spotted that the HOST had a path error. Rebooted HOST (All OK, no errors) Updated Vsphere patches and now script works fine.

Yes, you can do this with PowerCLI but I dont want to include that sort of thing in this report as yet, I have multiple other things I am working on including at the moment.
