Get exact folder name on datastore for a template

[markdjones82]

All,

  So i'm pretty much there just missing a couple items.  I want to specify a specific datastore and get the template names and their folder locations on the datastore.

I have this command and it gives me the HD info, but doesn't correlate to the VM name.  How can i format this to get VM name matched with datastore location?

get-datacenter -name "Main  Data Center 1" | get-datastore "templates_isos" | get-template |Get-HardDisk

It's there, look at the Parent property

get-datacenter -name "Main  Data Center 1" | get-datastore "templates_isos" | get-template |Get-HardDisk | Select Name,Parent

In the default view you don't get to see all the preoperties that are there.

You can use the Get-Member cmdlet to see the available properties

get-datacenter -name "Main  Data Center 1" | get-datastore "templates_isos" | get-template |Get-HardDisk | Get-Member

I did the get-member but didn't notice parent!  Luc always helpful in cleanin up my messes. Thanks again!

Here was my final command to get what i needed for anyone else intrested.

get-datacenter -name "Datacenter" | get-datastore "datastore" | get-template |Get-HardDisk | select Parent,Filename | Export-Csv -noTypeInformation folder_location.csv
