Include all VMs in vSphere Folder in array

[GarTomlon]

I have a Configuration Element that is an Array of VC:VirtualMachine.  I have to go in and insert the value of each VM into this array.  How can I include all vms contained in a specific folder in this array automatically?

Take a look at scripting module com.vmware.library.vc.folder. There are two scripting actions that return virtual machines contained in a given folder:

• getAllVirtualMachinesByFolderIncludingSubFolders - gets all VMs for the specified folder and all its subfolders.
• getAllVirtualMachinesByFolder - get all VMs in the specific folder.
