This is a great script, very usefull in our configuration.
Any idea how (if possible) to get the “age” of the snapshot displayed?

Thx,
Mike.

The updates script can be downloaded here:

I will add it to the Script Repository soon for easy reference.

I realize this is an older post, but can you paste what the final code would look like with your suggested “ForEach” change. I’m new to powershell and need a little help if you have a moment.

Thanks Very Much,

Ron

For example:

$VMSnapshotCount = 0
$VMSnapshots = $VMView.Snapshot.RootSnapshotList
ForEach ($VMSnapshot in $VMSnapshots) {
Write-Output (“Found snapshot: ” + $VMSnapshot.Name)
$VMSnapshotCount++;
$VMSnapshotCount += findSnapshots($VMSnapshot)
}

function findSnapshots([VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineSnapshot]$VMSnapshot) {
$VMChildSnapshots = $VMSnapshot.ChildSnapshotList
$VMChildSnapshotCount = 0
ForEach ($VMChildSnapshot in $VMChildSnapshots) {
$VMChildSnapshotCount += findSnapshots($VMChildSnapshot)
}
return $VMChildSnapshots
}

Note: This code is untested, but logically you need to recurse through the ChildSnapshotList for each snapshot in the RootSnapshotList.
