I wanted to get a list of all disk sizes, insert this into a .csv file then email the file to a couple of recipients. Using Powershell, I wanted to get a list of all the production severs from a vCenter 5.5 server which were all located in a "Production" folder.

$Results = @()
foreach ($VM in $VMs) {

    $VMDiskCount = 1
    get-harddisk $VM | foreach {
        $disk = $_
        $Result | add-member -name "Disk($VMDiskCount)SizeGB" -value ([math]::Round($disk.CapacityKB / 1MB)) -membertype NoteProperty
        $VMDiskCount++

    $Results += $Result
