Re: Searching Multiple Datstores, Searching a root folder ".snapshot" for a folder matching "*_recent"

You can use the Datastore provider for this kind of searches.

Something like this

&{foreach($dcinGet-Datacenter){
    foreach($datastoreinGet-Datastore-Location$dc){
        New-PSDrive-Location$datastore-NameDS-PSProviderVimDatastore-Root'\'|Out-Null
        $snap=Get-ChildItem-PathDS:\|
            Where{$_.PSIsContainer-and$_.Name-eq".snapshot"}
        if($snap){
            $recent=Get-ChildItem-PathDS:\.snapshot|
                Where{$_.PSIsContainer-and$_.Name-match"_recent"}
            if($recent){
                $result="Folder found"
            }
            else{
                $result=".snapshot\*_recent not found"
            }
        }
        else{
            $result=".snapshot folder not found"
        }
        Remove-PSDrive-NameDS-Confirm:$false
        $result|Select-Object@{N="Datacenter";E={$dc.Name}},
            @{N="Datastore";E={$datastore.Name}},
            @{N="Result";E={$_}}
    }
