What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried this script, a modified version of yours:

Get-VMHost | Select name,
@{N=”Mem.Usage.Average”;E={(get-stat -entity $_ -Start ((Get-Date).AddDays(-30)) -Finish (Get-Date) -stat mem.usage.average -intervalmins 5 -MaxSamples 1).Value}},
@{N=”Mem.Usage.Maximum”;E={(get-stat -entity $_ -Start ((Get-Date).AddDays(-30)) -Finish (Get-Date) -stat mem.usage.maximum -intervalmins 5 -MaxSamples 1).Value}},
@{N=”Cpu.Usage.Average”;E={(get-stat -entity $_ -Start ((Get-Date).AddDays(-30)) -Finish (Get-Date) -stat cpu.usage.average -intervalmins 5 -MaxSamples 1).Value}},
@{N=”Cpu.Usage.Maximum”;E={(get-stat -entity $_ -Start ((Get-Date).AddDays(-30)) -Finish (Get-Date) -stat cpu.usage.maximum -intervalmins 5 -MaxSamples 1).Value}} |Export-Csv c:\stats.csv

I want to get the maximum cpu usage of the last 30 days, but nothing happens, only the average numbers occur in the stats.csv.
What am I doing wrong?

To switch between working on a single server and working on multiple servers, use the Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet.
