== Get list of VM's ==
Get list of VM's
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM </source>

=== Sort by Name ===
Get list of VM's, sorted by name
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM | Sort -Property Name </source>

=== Within a Folder ===
Get VM within a specific folder (for when you've VM's with identical names if different folders)
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM -Name MyVM -Location (Get-Folder -Name "MyFolder") </source>

=== Within a vApp ===
Get VM within a specific vApp
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM -Location (Get-vApp "vApp name") </source>

== Get VM guest Info ==
Get VM guest OS info (IP address, etc)
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VMGuest -VM (Get-VM -Name MyVM) </source>

== Get VM's UUID ==
Get list of VM's and their UUID's
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM MyVM | %{(Get-View $_.Id).config.uuid} </source>

== Get VM's VMX Path ==
Get list of virtual machine config file paths in a particular vApp (for VM's in a folder use <code>Get-Folder</code> instead of <code>Get-vApp</code>)
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM -Location (Get-vApp "vApp Name") | Get-View | %{$_.Config.Files.VmPathName} | Sort </source>

== Get VM Power On/Off Events ==
Get Power On/Off times and events for VM
<source lang="powershell"> get-VM MyVM | Get-VIEvent | Where {$_.fullFormattedMessage -like "*Power*"} </source>

== Migration ==
=== Storage vMotion ===
Storage vMotion (SvMotion) a VM to a different datastore, most commonly used on ESX3 / VI3 where storage vMotion is supported by the infrastructure, but not the VI Client!
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM MyVM | Move-VM -datastore (Get-datastore "DestinationDatastore") </source>

=== Move VMs to New PortGroup Network ===
The following will reconfigure all VM in the specified folder to move from network A to network B
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM -Location (Get-Folder "InThisFolder") | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName -eq "Network A"} | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "Network B" -Confirm:$false </source>

== Gracefully Shutdown a VM ==
Sends OS shutdown command via VM Tools
<source lang="powershell"> Shutdown-VMGuest -VM (Get-VM -name "vserver1") </source>

== Snapshots ==
=== Get Snapshot info for a VM ===
Get Snapshot size, date created, and other info for a VM
<source lang="powershell"> Get-VM MyVM | Get-Snapshot | Select-Object -Property Name, Description, Created, SizeMB | Format-List * </source>

=== Start Snapshot on Multiple VMs ===
Assumes you've already got an array object of VMs containing the VM's you want to snapshot (eg <code>$VMs = Get-VM -Location (Get-Folder -Name "MyFolder")</code> for VM's in a particular folder, see [[#Get_list_of_VM.27s|Get_list_of_VM's]] for further info)
<source lang="powershell">New-Snapshot -Name "Pre change XYZ snapshot" -Description "Requested by TJ Hooker" -Memory -Quiesce -VM $vms </source>

=== Roll-back to Snapshot on Multiple VMs ===
Rolls back VM's to snapshots previously taken (assumes you've already got an array object of VMs containing the VM's you want to rollback for)
<source lang="powershell">foreach ($vm in $vms) {Set-VM -VM $vm -Snapshot (Get-Snapshot -VM $vm -Name "Pre change XYZ snapshot") -Confirm:$false}</source>

=== Delete/Merge Snapshot on Multiple VMs ===
Deletes snapshots previously taken so that VMs continue as they are currently, but lose the ability to fall-back to the snapshot (assumes you've already got an array object of VMs containing the VM's you want to delete snapshots for)
<source lang="powershell">foreach ($vm in $vms) {Remove-Snapshot -Snapshot (Get-Snapshot -VM $vm -Name "Pre change XYZ snapshot") -Confirm:$false}</source>
