Is it possible to get a script which will list all VM's in a virtual centre which is running windows XP OS. And also which vmware datacentre they are in.
That would be great to have in a csv format
This should help in exactly what you want.. Just you need to work on CSV file alignment little-bit..
Refer the to the command section of this article (Step-3).
Get-VM | select Name, Guest | Export-CSV D:\test.csv
It should do for you. I am not sure if Datacentre column can be fit in the report.. will try and let you know..
Thanks,

Ok, so here is the command you can use to get the VM Name, Guest OS Details and Datacenter Details...
Get-VM | Select Name, Guest, @{N="Datacenter";E={Get-Datacenter -VM $_}}
To export the result in CSV, you can use it like below:
Get-VM | Select Name, Guest, @{N="Datacenter";E={Get-Datacenter -VM $_}} | Export-Csv D:\Test.CSV

Thanks for the replies.
Is there anyway we can list out only the VM's with windows XP OS, as the above scripts lists out all VM's
Try like this
Get-VM |
where{$_.Guest.OSFullName -match "XP"} |
Select Name,@{N='GuestOS';E={$_.Guest.OSFullName}}

You may try below one, should work for filtering only "Windows Xp" guest VMs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$vms = Get-VM
Foreach ($vm in $vms){
if ((Get-View $vm).Guest.GuestFullName -match "windows xp"){
Write-Host $vm.Name, " => " , (Get-View $vm).Guest.GuestFullName
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can check keeping "Xp" instead of "Windows Xp", it should also work..
Thanks,
