Get-VM | where-Object {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" } | foreach {get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -computer $_.Name }| Select-Object CSName,LocalDateTime,LastBootUpTime Anyway the patch is now out and I'm going to start applying it. I'll use this script to see which hosts have been rebooted during this time and reboot them when the hosts are patched.

According to the VMWare phone support this is being tracked as KB 1006716. Of course I couldn't actually get on the site as its overloaded. I can’t believe this one.
