Ivo Beerens just published a new version of his Powershell Healthcheck script. The script will report the following in a nicely formatted html file:

  • VMware ESX server Hardware and version
  • VMware vCenter version
  • Cluster information
  • VMware statistics
  • Active Snapshots
  • CDROMs connected to VMs
  • Floppy drives connected to VMs
  • Datastores Information such as free space
  • RDM information
  • VM information such as VMware tools version,  processor and memory limits
  • VM’s and there datastore
  • VMware timesync enabled
  • Percentage disk space used inside the VM
  • VC error logs last 5 days

Go to Ivo’s website for the download of the script and the source blog post. I use this script personally just to keep track of changes and get a quick overview of the current situation of an environment.
