Set-ExecutionPolicy Remotesigned -force
if (-not (Get-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core}
$VC1 = read-host "Type the VC name"
$date = Get-Date -DisplayHint DateTime -Format "yyyy-M-d"
Connect-VIServer -Server $VC1 -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
Get-VM | Select Name,PowerState, @{N="SnapName";E={
($_ | Get-Snapshot).Name}},@{N="Datastore";E={
($_ | Get-Datastore).Name}},@{ N="TotalDisk"; E={
