==== Daily ESX Up/Down Check ====
Simple script that runs every morning just before I start work to provide a basic sanity check email to glance through over the first tea of the day.

#  ESX Checker
#
#############################################################################################
#
# By Simon Strutt
#
# Version 1 - Aug 10
# - Initial creation
#
# Version 2 - Oct 10
# - Fixed VIServer handling (was never good but stuffed by upgrade to PowerCLI 4.1)
# - Improved email in case of vCentre connection failure
#
# Version 2.1 - Nov 10
# - Minor text changes
#
# Version 2.2 - Nov 10
# - Added InvalidLogon catch to vCentre logon to prevent a/c lockout
#
# Version 3 - Dec 10
# - Truncated displayed ESX hostname (stripped domain)
# - Added "since <datetime>" info to ESX's that aren't in a good state
# - Bugfix: Incorrect email config used when VC list config file load failed
#
# Version 3.1 Jan 11
# - Workaround: Powershell/MS DateTime object returns incorrect (US) date format
#
# Version 3.2 Jan 11
# - Bugfix: Extraneous " hrs" on end of v3.1 fixed datetimes
#
