NAME Get-Template
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet retrieves the virtual machine templates available on a vCenter Server system.
SYNTAX
Get-Template [[-Name] <String[]>] [-Datastore <StorageResource[]>] [-Location <VIContainer[]>] [-NoRecursion]
[-Server <VIServer[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-Template -Id <String[]> [-Server <VIServer[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet retrieves the virtual machine templates available on a vCenter Server system. The cmdlet returns a set
of templates that correspond to the filter criteria defined by the cmdlet parameters. To specify a server
different from the default one, use the Server parameter.
PARAMETERS
-Datastore <StorageResource[]>
Filters templates by the datastores or datastore clusters that they are stored on.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Id <String[]>
Specifies the IDs of the virtual machine templates you want to retrieve.
Note: When a list of values is specified for the Id parameter, the returned objects would have an ID that
matches exactly one of the string values in that list.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Location <VIContainer[]>
Specifies the vSphere container objects (such as folders, datacenters, and clusters) you want to search for
templates.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Name <String[]>
Specifies the names of the virtual machine templates you want to retrieve.
Required? false
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-NoRecursion [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that you want to disable the recursive behavior of the command.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is passed to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
OUTPUTS
Zero or more Template objects
NOTES
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
Get-Template -Name Web* -Location Datacenter
