machines (VMs). The operations include powering on, powering off, shutting down, restarting, and deleting
the VMs.
This script can delete virtual machines from vCenter Server but not from View. To delete the machines from
View, see the sample script “Sample Script to Delete Machines from the Connection Server LDAP
Database,” on page 96.
To copy and paste the script content without page breaks, use the HTML version of this topic, available
