Snapshot Script for Vsphere using yULM

I have found this really cool script for presenting a graphical view of a snapshot chain within Vsphere via PowerCLI http://www.lucd.info/2010/03/31/uml-diagram-your-vm-vdisks-and-snapshots/

I have amended the Script to include the functionality to work in a corporate environment behind a proxy server, you simply need to change the following two lines to reflect your target server name and proxy address.

$vmName = "Servername"

$diagram = Get-UMLDiagram $vmName Get-yUMLDiagram $diagram "C:\test\yULM.jpg" -show -proxy "10.*.*.*:8080"
