List vm's and their vmdk's?

Does anyone know of a way which I can export each vm name and it's corresponding vmdk filename? I want to reconcile these since I know that several guests have been renamed and I'd like to match up their respective vmdk filenames. I'm hoping that there's some super cool putty command so I don't have to install and play around with PowerGUI's powershell plugin 😛

maybe something like RVTools

...also, this seems like a pretty easy solution as well using PowerCLI

Thanks guys- I'm one of those admin's that's motivated by laziness. Sure, I enjoy creating a script now and again, but there's nothing more satisfying than point/click (as long as it does what I want). In this case, that RVTolos gives me exactly what I was looking for - point/click/problem solved Smiley Happy

Thanks again- without guys like you my days wouldn't be so enjoyable (read lazy).
