This is a script that I got from someone else but have modified pretty heavily. This will use Powershell to diagram vCenter. This will connect to vCenter, pull a list of clusters and for each cluster it will create a Visio diagram and detail host, datastore and VM info. For this to run you need to have Visio installed. You also need these templates which apparently I’m not allowed to link to but you can find them pretty easy. The two non-standard ones I use are “EUC Visio Stencils 2018” and “Security and Systems Stencil.” You don’t NEED to use mine just make sure you update the section of the script that ties a stencil to a type of system. (its commented in there starting at line 69). The last thing needed is the PowerCLI module installed. You can see how that works here.
