  1 | # vSphere Standalone FCD Cleanup Tool
  2 | 
  3 | A PowerShell / PowerCLI tool to safely identify and optionally delete standalone First Class Disks (FCDs) in VMware vSphere that are not associated with any Container Native Storage (CNS) volumes.
  4 | 
  5 | This version includes advanced features like:
  6 | - Auto-detect and use existing vCenter sessions
  7 | - Multi-vCenter session handling
  8 | - Dry-run mode (default, safe)
  9 | - Parallel deletion for large-scale environments (PowerShell 7+)
 10 | - Full structured logging and CSV export for audits
 11 | - Clean human-readable logs
 12 | 
 13 | ---
 14 | 
 15 | ## 🔧 Prerequisites
 16 | 
 17 | - VMware PowerCLI module installed
 18 | - PowerShell 7+ (`pwsh`) strongly recommended (especially for parallel mode)
 19 | - Connection to vSphere 7.0+ environment
 20 | - Sufficient permissions to list and delete VDisks
 21 | 
 22 | ---
 23 | 
 24 | ## 💻 Usage
 25 | 
 26 | ```powershell
 27 | # Dry run (default, safe mode)
 28 | .\standalone-fcd-cleanup.ps1
 29 | 
 30 | # Delete orphaned FCDs (with confirmation prompt)
 31 | .\standalone-fcd-cleanup.ps1 -DryRun:$false
 32 | 
 33 | # Automatically delete orphaned FCDs without prompt (USE EXTREME CAUTION)
 34 | .\standalone-fcd-cleanup.ps1 -DryRun:$false -AutoDelete
 35 | ```
 36 | 
 37 | The script will:
 38 | 1. Check for existing `$global:defaultviserver` connections and offer to reuse it.
 39 | 2. If no default, list all active vCenter sessions and allow selection.
 40 | 3. Otherwise, prompt for new vCenter connection.
 41 | 4. Scan for orphaned standalone FCDs not associated with CNS.
 42 | 5. Export a full CSV report of findings.
 43 | 6. Optionally delete orphaned FCDs after confirmation.
 44 | ---
 45 | 
 46 | ## ⚠️ Important Safety Notice
 47 | 
 48 | The script is **safe by default** (`DryRun:$true`).  
 49 | **No deletions will occur unless you explicitly disable Dry Run.**
 50 | 
 51 | If using `-AutoDelete`, the script will delete orphaned FCDs without asking.  
 52 | **This is highly dangerous in production environments. Only use if fully confident.**
 53 | 
 54 | Always review the exported CSV report before deletion.
 55 | 
 56 | ---
 57 | 
 58 | ## 📝 Example Output Files
 59 | 
 60 | - `FCD-Cleanup-<vCenter>-<timestamp>.log` → Full log of all actions
 61 | - `StandaloneFCDs-<vCenter>-<timestamp>.csv` → List of orphaned FCDs
 62 |

  2 | .SYNOPSIS
  3 |     Clone_VM_Set_DHCP_Reservations_Alter_CPUID_with_GUI.ps1 - PowerShell Script to clone a virtual machine, create a DHCP reservation for this new VM, 
  4 |     and alter the CPUID to mask the CPU attributes to the guest OS. 
  5 | .DESCRIPTION
  6 |     This script loads a GUI that is used to clone and existing virtual machine, set a DHCP reservation based on the new VM's MAC Address, and finally configure the new
  7 |     VM's CPUID to mask the CPU that is known to the guest OS. 
  8 |     You can read more about this script the decisions made in its design here: https://veducate.co.uk/powercli-gui-clone-machine-dhcp-cpuid/
  9 | .OUTPUTS
 10 |     You are provided a GUI interface for interactions.
