1. Email Report (csv) a list of VMs - includes parameters CpuHotAddEnabled, MemoryHotAddEnabled, MemoryReservationLockedToMax, VMHost, VMFolderPath, IP Address, OS
2. Exclude Virtual Machines in specific Folders (Parent and it's child folders including) - Folder type VM
Below is what I have for now, but don't understand how to go via Folder and exclude specific.
