Install the agent file

To install the agent file, please put the powershell script in the plugins folder of the agent.

For this plugin there is two variants available :

• vsphere.ps1
• vsphere_debug.ps1

The latter will create log file in "%programdata%/OCS Inventory NG/Agent/" called VsphereScan.log and will debug most of the query, values processed by the plugin. You will have to ensure that the Windows machine performing the scan have VMWare tools for powershell installed.

Note : The script have only been tested with agent 2.7.0.0
