Hi,

Can you tell me how can I find out the poweroff Vm and also when it is poweroff and by whom with powershell script.

I know how to get the poweroff vm, but not able to get the other details.

If possible can you put your comments on this.

Regards
Gurjit Dhillon

I know in the past other important values are (for v2v migrations):

VMware Tools Status
Time Sync w/Host
Tools Version
Tools Upgrade Policy
Tools is mounted

I'm sure you can query for this additional information using ps.

I also wrote a VI Perl Toolkit script that extracts this along with other pieces of information:

You can see some of the output here:
