Re: Register VMs in a datastore in the vCenter inventory

Try it like this

$Cluster = "MyCluster" 
$DatastoreName = "MIRROR*"
 $VMFolder = "DR_Folder"
 $ESXHost = Get-Cluster $Cluster | Get-VMHost | select -First 1

foreachforeach($Datastore in (Get-Datacenter "MyDC" | Get-Datastore -Name $DatastoreName) {
  # Set up Search for .VMX Files in Datastore
  $ds = Get-View $Datastore.Id
  $SearchSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostDatastoreBrowserSearchSpec
  $SearchSpec.matchpattern = "*.vmx"
  $dsBrowser = Get-View $ds.browser
  $DatastorePath = "[" + $ds.Summary.Name + "]"
  # Find all .VMX file paths in Datastore, filtering out ones with .snapshot
  $SearchResult = $dsBrowser.SearchDatastoreSubFolders($DatastorePath, $SearchSpec) | where {$_.FolderPath -notmatch ".snapshot"} | %{$_.FolderPath + ($_.File | select Path).Path}
  #Register all .vmx Files as VMs on the datastore
  foreach($VMXFile in $SearchResult) {
    $vm = New-VM -VMFilePath $VMXFile -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if($vm){
      Get-hardDisk -VM $vm | where {$_.CapacityKB -eq 0} | Remove-HardDisk -Confirm:$false
      $newname = $vm.Name + "_Copy"
      Set-VM -VM $vm -Name $newname -confirm:$false
      if($vm.PowerState -ne "PoweredOn"){
        $vm = Start-VM -VM $vm -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
      }
      Get-VMQuestion -VM $vm | Set-VMQuestion -Option "I moved it" -Confirm:$false
    }
  }
}
