I know my job would be a lot harder if not for you especially and other contributors like LucD. I am looking forward to playing with vCheck 6. I do have one suggestion for the plug-in page. I suggest seperating the plug-ins that come with vCheck 6 by default. Keep up the great work and again - THANK YOU. Alan,

I have made these changes in multiple files Another small change in 03 Datastore Information.ps1 to get header information:
Old:
$Header = “Datastores (Less than $DatastoreSpace% Free) : $($OutputDatastores.count)”
New:
$Header = “Datastores (Less than $DatastoreSpace% Free) : $(@($OutputDatastores).count)”

Snapshots (Over Days Old) :

I rearranged the plugin to get:
Snapshots (Over 14 Days Old) : 1

This is the modification:

# Start of Settings
# Set the warning threshold for snapshots in days old
$SnapshotAge =14
# End of Settings

$Snapshots = @($VM | Get-Snapshot | Where {$_.Created -lt (($Date).AddDays(-$SnapshotAge))} | Select Created, VM, Name, Description, SizeMB)

$Title = "Snapshot Information"
$Header = "Snapshots (Over $SnapshotAge Days Old) : $($snapshots.count)"
$Comments = "VMware snapshots which are kept for a long period of time may cause issues, filling up datastores and also may impact performance of the virtual machine."
$Display = "Table"
$Author = "Alan Renouf"
$Version = 1.0

$Snapshots
