PowerCLI - VIProperties
Luc Dekens, author of the VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference has just made a PowerShell module available that adds a number of useful properties to PowerCLI objects. I spent the morning playing with this module inside of PowerWF and everthing worked great.

VMHost:

The great news is that I contacted Luc and he has agreed to let us include this module with the next release of PowerVI and with the forthcoming release of PowerWF for VMware.
