How to use Visio, PowerCLI and PowerGUI for Documentation or Implementation of a Design

[Saadat]

In This Video I am trying to show how you can use tools like PowerGUI, PowerCLI, Visio to document an existing VMware environment, How to populate the data into your shapes.
Also I explain how you can use this method in your Designs to provide more details and by using those details, you can use PowerCLI scripts to implement the design.
Also I explain how I created my VMware Visio Stencil and some of my recommendations. I hope it will help you in your day to day process.
Please let me know if you have any comments.
My ultimate Goal is to be able to create Visio Diagrams with all the detailed information or to be able to Implement a design using scripting languages with all the information at hand.

Nice one, thanks for sharing.

Perhaps Alan's vDiagram post can give you some ideas on further automation of the process.

PS: perhaps it's my PC but the volume on the video is way too low, I can hardly hear anything.
