.SYNOPSIS
Returns an Object of SnapShot Data for specified VMs
.DESCRIPTION
Returns an object of VM, SnapName, Description, SizeGB, UserName, Created, and File of a snapshot.
Snapshot input must be piped from Get-SnapShot. See Examples.
Note: Time occassionally skews a few seconds between VIevent (log) and Snapshot (actual) info.
Ergo, this advanced function creates an 11 second window to correlate log information with actual information.
Snapshots taken on the same VM within 10 seconds of each other may produce innaccurate results. Optionally,
the 11 second window can be adjusted from 0 to 61 seconds by using the PreSeconds and PostSeconds parameters.
.PARAMETER Name
Pipe the Snapshot object. See Examples.
.PARAMETER PreSeconds
Number of seconds to capture VIEvents, before the SnapShot. Default value is 5.
.PARAMETER PostSeconds
Number of seconds to capture VIEvents, after the SnapShot. Default value is 5.
.INPUTS
VMWare SnapShot Object from Get-SnapShot
VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.VM.Snapshot
.OUTPUTS
PSCUSTOMOBJECT SupSkiFun.SnapShot.Data
.EXAMPLE
Obtain Snapshot Data from one VM:

.EXAMPLE
Obtain Snapshot Data from multiple VMs, using the Get-SnapShotData alias, placing the object into a variable:
$MyVar = Get-Snapshot -VM *WEB* | gsd
.EXAMPLE
Obtain Snapshot Data from one VM, increasing the VIEvent window to 31 seconds by setting both the PreSeconds and PostSeconds parameters to 15:

Lists VMs with outdated VM Tools. See Examples.
.DESCRIPTION
By default returns an object of PoweredOn VM(s) with outdated tools. Or, if specified with -List, returns
an object of VM(s) with outdated tools consisting of Name, Tools Status, Tools Version and OS.
Must be used in conjunction with Get-VM. See Examples.
.PARAMETER VM
Pipe VM(s) using Get-VM. See Examples. Auto-Generated SYNTAX (above) is not quite accurate.
.PARAMETER List
If specified returns an object of Name, Tools Status, Tools Version and OS of PoweredOm VM(s) with outdated tools.
If NOT specified (default) Returns an object of PoweredOn VM(s) with outdated tools.
.INPUTS
VMware VM Object from Get-VM

.Synopsis
Returns total size of VM on a Data Store.
.DESCRIPTION
Returns an object of total Datastore Consumption of a VM on a DataStore.
Includes all files: .log, .vmx, .vswp, .vmdk, etc. in the computation. Excludes ".rdmp" files (RDMs).
Note that a thin provisioned disk may reflect less disk space than is actually provisioned.
Default output is a hostname with total size. Accepts PipeLine input from Get-VM or CSV file.
Use the -full parameter to include all file names and thier values as an embedded object.
Optimally used with Get-VM, returning information into an object. See Example 4.
.PARAMETER vm
Mandatory. Enter vm name(s), use a variable, or pipe data in.
.PARAMETER full
Optional. Use to return all file names as an embedded object, along with the regular output.
.EXAMPLE
Displays VM name and total size:
Get-VMTotalSize -VM MyVm01
.EXAMPLE
Displays VM name and total size along with each file name and values:
Get-VMTotalSize -VM MyVm02 -full
.EXAMPLE
Displays VM names and total sizes via pipe from Get-VM:
Get-Vm MyVm* | Get-VMTotalSize
.EXAMPLE
Places VM names, files and total size into an object using Get-VM piped to the Get-VMTotalSize alias:

Kills VM Process
.DESCRIPTION
Kills VM Process, returning an object of VM, Result, and VMHost.
.PARAMETER VM
Output from VMWare PowerCLI Get-VM. See Examples.

Either soft, hard or force.
soft - Gives the VMX process a chance to shut down cleanly (like kill or kill -SIGTERM)
hard - Stops the VMX process immediately (like kill -9 or kill -SIGKILL)
force - Stops the VMX process when other options do not work. Last Resort.
