Hi
I am struggling to find out how to read custom attributes for a few reasons :
- i am a powerCLI newbie
- Google articles vary on the syntax, mechanism
- I can't be sure how "standard" our setup is - below is the poweshell object and a view from vSphere
I am interested in the "owner" and "Notes"
>> After some hints on how to access these fields ?
Thanks in advance
You can use the Get-Annotation or Get-CustomAttribute cmdlets to retrieve these properties.
Have a look at the examples on the reference pages.

If you want to use your object you could do something like this:
$VMobj = Get-VM YourVMName
$VMobj.CustomFields.Keys[6]
$VMobj.CustomFields.Values[6]
$VMobj.Notes
$VMobj.CustomFields.Keys
ThisAttribute
