Hi,
We recently added MS System Center 2012 to our datacenter which consists of HP Proliant servers running ESXi 5.1. We have management packs from HP to handle the physical servers but no MP (like Veeam) for the VMs. Microsoft does not set the Virtual Machine property for VMware, only for Hyper-V. I want to create a group of just VMware VMs but there is nothing to differentiate the VMs from the physical Windows servers. I can create the group manually but in this day and age, that's stupid. I figure I can just put together a Powershell script that extracts the VMware VMs to a list, create a Operations Manager group and populate it from the list. Child's play, right? Except that there is a real lack of information for doing this in Operations Manager. I thought I would run it past the PowerCLI group and see if anyone has already invented this wheel rather than reinvent it myself.
Thanks!
Alan
