Having trouble populating Owner CustomAttribute

[AGFlora]

Get-VM | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.name}},@{N="Tools Version";E={$_.version}},

@{N="Owner";E={(Get-VM $_.name | Get-Annotation -CustomAttribute "Owner")}} |

Export-Csv tools.csv  -NoTypeInformation

Perhaps try like this

Get-VM | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.name}},@{N="Tools Version";E={$_.version}},

@{N="Owner";E={(Get-VM $_.name | Get-Annotation -CustomAttribute (Get-CustomAttribute -Name "Owner"))}} |

Export-Csv tools.csv  -NoTypeInformation

Hello, AGFlora-

You were close.  Just needed to adjust the calculated property for "Owner" a bit, like:

    Get-VM | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.name}},@{N="ToolsVersion";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.Tools.ToolsVersion}},
        @{N="Owner";E={(Get-Annotation -Entity $_ -CustomAttribute "Owner").Value}} |
        Export-Csv c:\temp\tools.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Also, the value that you were using for "Tools Version" was actually the VM's virtual hardware version.  I adjusted that calculated property to get the VMware Tools version for the given VM.

That do it for you?

Edit:  doh, Luc is quicker than me on the response...
