  1. Hi Albin,

    it is good to see that you are blogin about VMware vSphere PowerCLI. It is a very useful tool to automate VMware vSphere. However I find the title and the text of this blogpost a bit confusing. In PowerShell and PowerCLI an object is a set of parameters and methods. E.g. the virtual machine object in PowerCLI has the parameters you show in this blogpost, like PowerState, Version etc. I think you better change the title of this post into “List of VM property names in VMware vSphere PowerCLI”. And change the text accordingly.

    Kind regards,
