Here is custom resource that allows you to write arbitrary PowerCLI commands to verify your VMware DataCenters. Above is an example to check an ESXi host to verify that the TSM-SSH service is OFF.

We have added some demo controls controls/. There are two, one to check for SSH disabled on an ESXi host, and the second to check that a CDROM is not attached to a VM.
