PowerCLI: Inventory VM Hardware version

With the release of vSphere we also got a new Hardware version of the VM. I created a PowerCLI script to inventory the VM’s, which are not upgraded yet.

Get-VM |% {Get-View $_.ID} |`

% {
$vmVersion = $_.Config.Version
$vmName = $_.Name

    if ($vmVersion -eq "vmx-04"){
        Write-Host $vmName "uses hardware version 4" 
    }
}

Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false

The output will look like this:
