Old Script.

Adding README.md for basic QA.

## WHATIS

This is very much intended for hybrid farms that use different types of virtualization servers.

Script for my own personal use.

Used to locate on which Virtualization Server a VM is currenlty running.

Works for:

- HyperV
- VSPHere
- SCVMM (SystemCenterVirtualMachineManager)

For authentication if I recall correctly would try to use the current Windows User.

## Files

Scripts are located inside the folder `Testing`.

Script to use:

- with_middleware.ps1

The other ps1 files are older versions so they are not very relevant tbh.

### Config files

#### Servers

On each file can (should) list the Virtualization Servers that will be used to authenticate on.

- hyperv_list.txt
- vsphere_list.txt
- scvmm_list.txt
#### Desired VMs

List of VMs.

Very much a file on which you list the name of the VMs to locate.

- hosts.txt

#### Syntax

Syntax for the txt files is very simple.

Items should be "splitted" through detecting whitespaces and new lines.

So if we have something like the following:

```text
entry1 entry2
entry3
```

It should detect the following items:

- entry1
- entry2
- entry3

## How does it work.

1. Loads files/values from the config files.
2. Authenticates on all the servers you have listed with your windows user.
3. Loads/Downloads all the VMs located on all the servers, yes, it takes a bit of time. Those items will be stored/kept on memory.
4. Finds/locates form the list of "donloaded" vms, which server is hosting
5. Returns the info in a simple 2-column-format (name | server).
6. You can request more "VM locations". The VMs to find will be re-fetched from the `host.txt` file, so you can update such file, then request another location. Due the VM data from all the Virtualization Servers/Clusters been download/kept in memory, the responses will be fast.
