How the heck?

How the heck do you guys find time to do all this scripting? With my vmware infrastructure and hundreds of other things to do i hardly have time to call my mother and say hello. Are you telling me there's jobs where you sit and play with vmware 24/7?!!!!! Tell me where!!!!!

Thanks to PowerCLI you can automate most of your VMware environment and with the freed up time you can automate the hundreds of other things.

Heck, you could even script a regular call to your mother with Eric's speech function Smiley Wink

I often wonder the same thing about LucD in particular. I think he's actually an artificially intelligent robot and he's just hanging out here because secretly controllnig all of the major world events doesn't take up all of his brain capacity and he's bored.

PowerCLI.... Resistance is futile

In all seriousness, LucD is correct (isn't he always), the time spent learning this fantastic technology more than pays you back, your manager will think you have been so busy they will give you a raise, the trick is to still look busy whilst the scripts are running.
