.SYNOPSIS
Gets the files in the Datastore
.DESCRIPTION
This script gets the files in a VMWare Datastore, filterred by the last time they were modified and size.
.PARAMETER strVCenter
The name of the vcenter server that will be connected to to run the PowerCLI commands
.PARAMETER strDatastoreId
The name of the Datastore the action is to be performed on, will be passed from ControlUp Console.
.PARAMETER intFileNotModifiedDays
Minimum days the file has nog changed.
.PARAMETER intFileSizeMinimumGB
Minimum size of the file in GB.
.EXAMPLE
Example is not relevant as this script will be called through ControlUp Console
.NOTES
VMware PowerCLI Core needs to be installed on the machine running the script.
Loading VMWare PowerCLI will result in a 'Join our CEIP' message. In order to disable these in the future run the following commands on the target system:
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -ParticipateInCEIP $false (or $true, if that's your kind of thing)
