PowerCLI script to get Resource Pool Path

Question

Hi
I was wondering if someone could help me, I am looking for a PowerShell script that would give me the specific path of a specific Resource Pool, but I need to base the filter on the path and not the name of the resource pool.
The reason for this is that our guys created a "Infrastructure Services" resource pool in 4 different places so when I query the resource pool I get 4 results but in 4 different paths.
Now what I would like to do is when I create the VM from PowerShell I would need to place the VM into one of the 4 resource pools but specifying a specific path.
Is this possible and could someone please give me an example code for this.
I hope this makes sense :)
Thanks in advance

Hi Ravi0211,
The script below may be helpful for you, which can filter the process based on the property "idprocess" and the services based on the service "name":
$pids=@()
$output=@()
$output1=@()
get-content d:\processid.txt|foreach{
$pids+=$_} #store the processid as an array
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process | foreach{
if ($pids -contains $_.idprocess){#filter the processid listed in the file d:\processid.txt
$Obj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
$Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name idprocess -Value $_.idprocess
$Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Memory -Value $_.WorkingSetPrivate
$output+=$obj}
$services = get-content d:\service.txt
Foreach($service in $services){
Get-service | foreach{
If ($_.name –like “*$service*”){#filter the service based on the service name stored in d:\service.txt
$Obj1 = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
$Obj1 | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Service-Name -Value $_.name
$Obj1 | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Service-Status -Value $_.status
$output1+=$obj1}
$output
$output1
I hope this helps.
