Snapshot notification Powercli

HI All,

Over the week i have prepared useful PowerCLi script that will help you to inform your End-users, IT teammates about existing snapshots on vCenter.

In my environment, the vCenter filled with some custom attributes like (VM Onwer) and using this attributes i am sending them emails everyday with he following details:

Assuming you have same fields you can use this for you as well.

Formal email:
