here is a one line that I tried on a single host...and should work if you log on a VC as well... it will list all the VMs that have more than 4GB of memory :

Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.MemoryMB -gt 4096}

If you want just the name and memory then :

Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.MemoryMB -gt 4096} | Select Name,MemoryMB

For the other for the VMtools...

Get-VM | Get-View | Select-Object @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}},@{Name="ToolsStatus";E={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}}

Regards

Is that for ESX or ESXi?

Are you looking for a powershell script or a shell script?
