To delete files and directories older then a specified days, use the following vbs script:
' 'delete folders specified in a number of days, also specified in the script. ' On error resume next Dim Directory Dim Noofdays Dim FSO Dim FSO2 Dim LogFile Dim Folderlist Dim folders Directory ="D:\Logs\directory" Noofdays=cint(31) LogFile="D:\logs\result.txt" Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set FSO2 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesyStemObject") ' If oFSO.FileExists(Logfile) Then Const ForAppending = 8 Set ofile = oFSO.OpenTextFile(LogFile, ForAppending, True) Else Set oFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile(logfile, true) End If ofile.writeline "Delete Folders older than 31 days Started --> " & now() Set Folderlist = FSO.GetFolder(Directory) Set folders = Folderlist.SubFolders For Each d In Folders ' msgbox d.name ' msgbox d.size ' msgbox d.dateCreated ' msgbox d.dateLastModified ' msgbox d.dateLastAccessed tempdirectory = Directory & d.name If datediff("d",d.dateCreated,now()) > Noofdays Then FSO2.DeleteFolder(tempdirectory ) ofile.writeline "Deleting Folder...." & tempdirectory if err.number <>0 then ofile.writeline cstr(now()) & " " & Err.description err.clear end if End If Next ofile.writeline "Delete Folders older than 31 days Completed --> " &now() ofile.writeline "--------------------------------------------" ofile.close
A nice article to install multiple ESX installations through PXE boot
A nice oneline script to show the total VM’s on your datastore:
Get-Datastore | Select Name, @{N="NumVM";E={@($_ | Get-VM).Count}} | Sort Name
Example output:
Name | NumVM |
VMFS_0 | 5 |
VMFS_1 | 2 |
A oneline script to show the VM disk (or partiton) for each of your VM’s:
ForEach ($VM in (Get-VM |Get-View)){($VM.Guest.Disk |Select @{N=“Name“;E={$VM.Name}},DiskPath, @{N=“Capacity(MB)“;E={[math]::Round($_.Capacity/ 1MB)}}, @{N=“Free Space(MB)“;E={[math]::Round($_.FreeSpace / 1MB)}}, @{N=“Free Space %“;E={[math]::Round(((100 * ($_.FreeSpace))/ ($_.Capacity)),0)}}) | Format-Table}
Or look at the “advanced” script of virtu-al (http://www.virtu-al.net/2010/01/27/powercli-virtual-machine-disk-usage/)
Use the following CLI to get the state of your ESX hosts, the cpu and memory usage:
t-Datacenter | Sort | Get-VMHost | Sort | Get-View |`
Select Name, OverallStatus, `
@{N="CPU Usage (GHz)";E={[math]::round(
$_.Summary.QuickStats.OverallCpuUsage/1024,2)}}, `
@{N="Memory Usage (GB)";E={[math]::round(
$_.Summary.QuickStats.OverallMemoryUsage/1024,2)}}
Add line 7 to it to get all status except green:
Get-Datacenter | Sort | Get-VMHost | Sort | Get-View | `
Select Name, OverallStatus, `
@{N="CPU Usage (GHz)";E={[math]::round(
$_.Summary.QuickStats.OverallCpuUsage/1024,2)}}, `
@{N="Memory Usage (GB)";E={[math]::round(
$_.Summary.QuickStats.OverallMemoryUsage/1024,2)}} | `
Where { $_.OverallStatus -ne "green" }

A script to find orphaned vmdk’s on your ESX infrastructure.
Source here: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-6960
[wpdm_file id=”13″]
If you want to run it to ESX 3.5 make sure you include the snapshot files extension for it (000001.vmdk and so on).
In the following example 00001 and 00002 are added:

Use the following VBS script to find the local Asset Tag from Dell:
Set objWMIservice = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") set colitems = objWMIservice.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_BIOS",,48) For each objitem in colitems Wscript.echo "Dell Service Tag: " & objitem.serialnumber Next
