Script to change memory resource setting

I have a bunch of VM's that have the unlimited check box (see attached screen shot) under memory resources UNCHECKED.  Is there a way to script something that will CHECK that box on all my VM's?

Take a look at http://www.virtu-al.net/2009/07/07/powercli-more-one-liner-power/ to see whether this fits your needs.

Does this script change it for every VM in the environment? Does it matter if the unlimited box is already checked?

Get-VM | Get-VMResourceConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.MemLimitMB -ne '-1'} | Set-VMResourceConfiguration -MemLimitMB $null

Yes, the Get-VM will return all guests known under your current vSphere Server connection(s).

No, the Where-clause will only pass guests to the Set-VMResourceConfiguration cmdlet that do not have the unlimited box set.
