Using the PowerGUI, you can list all snapshots, but unfortunately, it doesn’t list the parent VM.
I wrote a quick little function to search all VMs that have snapshots and list them.
function get-snaps{
$vms = get-vm | sort name
$vmsnaps = @()
foreach($vm in $vms){
$snap = Get-Snapshot $vm
if($snap){
$vmsnaps += $vm
write-host -fore green `n `t $vm
$snapshots = Get-Snapshot $vm
foreach ($snapshot in $snapshots){
write-host "name: " $snapshot.name " size: " ($snapshot.sizemb/1024)
}
}
}
}
get-snaps
Just save that into a .ps1 file and run it. Make sure you’re connected to a vCenter or it won’t work.
Expected output is like this:

Server2

Server3
