The command error is thrown only for duplicates and for other vm it works. Is there anyway to address this? I checked the ip addresses, for one vm, it is has alpha-numeric character and the other ip address looks ok with standard format.

There are few vms in vcenter that has got duplicate vm names. In order investigate on these duplicates, I am trying to get all events from the time they were provisioned. From vSphere client, it shows quite many logs but I think they were not complete. In VM there are few file systems shows date much older(relatively speaking around a month old) that. When I ran simple command `Get-VIEvent -Entity <VM-NAME>` getting error as below Get-VIEvent : 2/14/2017 11:17:24 AM Get-VIEvent Could not find VIObject with name At line:1 char:1 + Get-VIEvent -Entity <vm-name> + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (vm-name:String) [Get-VIEvent], VimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Core_ObnSelector_SelectObjectByNameCore_ObjectNotFound,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets. Commands.GetEvent Is there a way to get ALL events for the duplicate VMs? Thank you, Senthil

Sorry if this has been already answered. I am trying to get the VM's event logs using vSpeher api. Could you someone tell or point me how to get it? Thanks, Senthil

Hello, I am using PowerCli to find the vm os summary info. I could successfully get the VM's os name by running the command Get-VM | Sort | Get-View -Property @("Name", "Config.GuestFullName", "Guest.GuestFullName") | Select -Property Name, @{N="Configured OS";E={$_.Config.GuestFullName}}, @{N="Running OS";E={$_.Guest.GuestFullName}} | Format-Table -AutoSize It give me the OS name like Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64-bit) and I need the kernel version too like Linux <HOST-NAME> 2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 10:22:33 EDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Is there any way to get it through PowerCli or vsphere api? Please let me know. Thanks, Senthil
