Today I needed to create a list of all users connected to a vCenter sever through the Client.
And during so I created a few variants 
This creates a list of all usernames connected to the vCenter server through a vCenter Client.
$svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
$svcRef.Type = "ServiceInstance"
$svcRef.Value = "ServiceInstance"
$serviceInstance = get-view $svcRef
$sessMgr = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.sessionManager
foreach ($sess in $sessMgr.SessionList){
write "$($sess.UserName)"
}
If you want to see a witch clients have been idle for 60 minutes try this.
$svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
$svcRef.Type = "ServiceInstance"
$svcRef.Value = "ServiceInstance"
$serviceInstance = get-view $svcRef
$sessMgr = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.sessionManager
foreach ($sess in $sessMgr.SessionList){
if (($sess.LastActiveTime).addminutes(60) -lt (Get-Date)){
write "$($sess.UserName)"
}
}
If you the want to terminate the sessions that have been inactive for more than 60 minute
$svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
$svcRef.Type = "ServiceInstance"
$svcRef.Value = "ServiceInstance"
$serviceInstance = get-view $svcRef
$sessMgr = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.sessionManager
$oldSessions = @()
foreach ($sess in $sessMgr.SessionList){
if (($sess.LastActiveTime).addminutes(60) -lt (Get-Date)){
$oldSessions += $sess.Key
}
}
$sessMgr.TerminateSession($oldSessions)
You can modify the hell out of this script to suit your needs and be my guest….
You can download the full script here.
The scripts are based on code found at the PowerCLI community by LucD.
