ckoelewijn1 commented 3 years ago

Hi, this is the error image

BartoPhotographer commented 3 years ago

Hi, the new error is: image

BartoPhotographer commented 3 years ago

I´ve replaced "$Snap.Size" with "$Snap.SizeGB" but then I get the error: image

BartoPhotographer commented 3 years ago

Seems to be a problem, if the VM has more than one Snapshot?

Jannos-443 commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the help! New Version should be able to handle more than one Snapshot for a VM. Please try again :)

ckoelewijn1 commented 3 years ago

thanks it is working.

one question how can i exclude vm's from scanning. I've tried it but i did not get it working.

BartoPhotographer commented 3 years ago

Working if I replace:

line 209: $snap.Size with $snap.SizeGB line 214: $snap.Size with $snap.SizeGB

Jannos-443 commented 3 years ago

@ckoelewijn1 please try something like -IgnorePattern '(Test1VM|VM2)' as parameter. This excludes "Test1VM", "Test1VM123" and "VM2" for example

@BartoPhotographer right, it should be $snap.SizeGB. I changed it.

please try the new version again.

ckoelewijn1 commented 3 years ago

Thanks, that works

@Jannos-443: I´ve added two regions to your scripts:

region Filter Snapshots RessourcePool

$ResourcePool = "PoolName" $IgnoreList = Get-ResourcePool $ResourcePool -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($IgnoreList -ne $null) { $IgnoreList = Get-ResourcePool $ResourcePool|Get-VM $Result = New-Object -TypeName "System.Collections.ArrayList" foreach ($Snapshot in $AllSnaps) { if ($IgnoreList.Name -notcontains $Snapshot.VM.Name) { $null = $Result.Add($Snapshot) } } } $AllSnaps = $Result

endregion Filter Snapshots RessourcePool

region Filter Snapshots CSV

$CSVPath="C:\Users\mph\Desktop\ignore.csv" $IgnoreList = Get-Content $CSVPath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($IgnoreList -ne $null) { $IgnoreList = Import-CSV -Path $CSVPath -Delimiter ~ $Result = New-Object -TypeName "System.Collections.ArrayList" foreach ($Snapshot in $AllSnaps) { if ($IgnoreList.Name -notcontains $Snapshot.VM.Name) { $null = $Result.Add($Snapshot) } } $AllSnaps = $Result }

endregion Filter Snapshots CSV

With the first region, I exclude all VMs from a whole ResourcePool, with the second one, I use a CSV list, to exclude VMs.

Jannos-443 commented 3 years ago

Added Support to Exclude VMware Folder and VMware Ressources.

The CSV exclude will not be added for now.
