wiki:powercli_script_to_get_all_snapshots
This is an old revision of the document!
This script will query the Vcenter to get all active snapshots in a CSV file on your desktop
Make sure you have the PowerCLI modules installed first
Install-Module VMware.PowerCLI -Scope CurrentUser
Run then the following to export list of snapshots
<cli type=dos> set-Executionpolicy unrestricted
connect-viserver -server YourVCenterAddress/Name
get-vm | get-snapshot | Select-Object -Property vm,created,sizeGB,name,description | Export-Csv -Path C:\Users\$env:username\Desktop\snapshots.csv</cli
If you want to filter the results and exclude some VMs (for example replicas of Horizon VDI) <cli> get-vm | get-snapshot | Select-Object -Property vm,created,sizeGB,name,description | where-object {$_.VM -notlike “xxx*” -and $_.VM -notlike “zzz*”}
