.SYNOPSIS
Daily VM metadata report for PowerBI trending and hardware capacity planning.
.DESCRIPTION
Collects VM metadata from vCenter including compute, storage, OS, and VMware Tools
information using only data available within vCenter (no direct guest connections).
Exports a timestamped CSV each run -- append daily runs to build a historical dataset
suitable for PowerBI trend analysis and physical hardware purchasing decisions.
.PARAMETER vCenterServers
One or more vCenter server hostnames. Defaults to itdvmvc1.nd.gov and itdvmvc2.nd.gov.
.PARAMETER DatacenterFilter
Wildcard filter applied to datacenter names. Defaults to 'Primary*'.
.PARAMETER OutputPath
Directory where CSV and log files are written.
Defaults to C:\ITDSCRIPT\Reports\VMMetadata.
.PARAMETER CredentialPath
Path to a saved PSCredential XML file for unattended/scheduled runs.
Create one interactively with:
Get-Credential | Export-Clixml -Path C:\ITDSCRIPT\Creds\vCenter.xml
When omitted the script prompts for credentials.
.EXAMPLE
# Interactive run
.\VMware-VMDailyMetadataReport.ps1
.EXAMPLE
# Scheduled / unattended run
.\VMware-VMDailyMetadataReport.ps1 -CredentialPath 'C:\ITDSCRIPT\Creds\vCenter.xml'
.NOTES
Scheduled Task suggestion (run as service account that owns the credential XML):
Program : powershell.exe
Args : -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\ITDSCRIPT\VMware-VMDailyMetadataReport.ps1" -CredentialPath "C:\ITDSCRIPT\Creds\vCenter.xml"
Trigger : Daily at 06:00
Guest OS disk capacity / used columns are populated only for powered-on VMs with
VMware Tools running; they will be empty for powered-off VMs and SRM placeholders.
