Powershell, Excel & VMware… Harmony!
Monday, June 16th, 2008I try not to use the word legend too often, but Carter Shanklin my friend you are a legend. Powershell is great, Excel is great and VMware is even greater, put them all together and you have something special.
Carter has written a number of Powershell cmdlets that have been given fantastic Excel frontends for completing VMware configuration tasks.
From the mundane to the curious Carter has created a group of spreadsheets that have made my life a whole lot easier:
- Create Virtual Switches - Multi-sheet spreadsheet for highly configurable cmdlet
- Reconnecting ESX Hosts in Virtual Center - Perfect after connecting to a different VC
- Creating lots of VMs at once - Does exactly what it says on the tin
Carter, thank you and I mean that!
