Now try VMware PowerClI

Using PowerCLI
Once I had both PowerShell and PowerCLI installed, I created and ran a simple PowerShell script (PCL_Test.ps1) to test it:

Get-Module  -ListAvailable PowerCLI* | Import-Module
Connect-VIServer  -Server 10.0.0.99
Get-VMHost
Get-VM | Select  Name,VMHost, PowerState, MemoryGB
Get-VM | Select  Name, @{N="IP Address";E={@($_.guest.IPAddress[0])}}
$VMs = Get-VM |  Where-Object { $_.PowerState -ne "PoweredOff" -and  $_.Guest.GuestFamily -ne "WindowsGuest" }
$VMs.guest |  Select-Object VM,OSFullName,IPAddress

The start of the output of the script PCL_Test.ps1
