Get only main folders

[lexajum]

Hello

As you know most of the vcenter folder structures are nested.

I only want to get main folders in vcenter.(I have only one datacenter)

As far as i know there is recurse feature in Powershell . If you write -depth and its degree, it only gives you the specific directory that is given the depth by you.

Similarly how can we indicate depth in powercli especially to get only main folders?

Euh, Get-Folder with the NoRecursion switch?

Hi Mr. Luc

When i write "Get-Folder -NoRecursion"  it only gives one folder which it's type datacenter. Is is root folder.

At the attachment you will see there are 16 folders inside "xxx Datacenter"

I want to get only these 16 folders.

I currently don't have access to a system, but after reading the documentation, I'd try s.th. like:

Get-Folder -Location (Get-Folder -NoRecursion)

You could do

Get-Datacenter | Get-Folder -Name vm | Get-Folder -NoRecursion

Thank you Mr Luc. It works.

By the way why did we pipe Get-Datacenter and get-folder and get folder again?

Hello Andre Thanks for your replay. But it gave me the whole folders including child folders
