Export RVTools xls Files Everyday
PowerShell Code
I like to create a Scheduled Task in vRealize Orchestrator to create RVTools files everyday. Here is a sample PowerShell script that could be used. The script is also on a 7 day rotation of files and automatically deletes old files. On the 1st of every month a file will also be created for history that is not deleted.
