How to use Get-inventory?

[nava_thulasi39]

Hi,

For some reason, I wanted to collect all the inventory details from the Datacenter. So thought using this cmdlet  - get-inventory..

As i don't know how to sort it using the type ( There is no type property to sort it out - maybe i am wrong). I used ID property to sort it out. But there is no difference for Virtual Machine and Template, So how can i differentiate using the ID property or how to sort it out using some other property?

Many thanks in advance.

You can use a Where-clause and check the type.

Something like this

Get-Inventory | where {$_ -is [VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.TemplateImpl]}

This will get you all templates
