  • 1.  Removing Virtual CD and Floppy drives

    Posted Jan 13, 2009 07:38 PM

    Is there any way I can run a report to determine which of my 1200+ VMs have CD and Floppy drives installed and, of those, which are connected.

    Also, is there any way I can remove them in mass?

    Powershell would be one way. There are some examples listed in this pdf of doing so.

    Also check out RVTools

    There is probably a powershell script that exists that will do this, and will if you want disconnect them.

    I suggest asking over in the VI Toolkit forum http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/windows_toolkit
