To make things more organized in vCenter, I use folders to categorize the servers with the same functions together. The folders can be Production with subfolders SQL server, Linux server … But somehow, two servers refused to move. Everything looks fine, they just did not want to move to a new folder.
After being frustrated by that in vSphere client, I decided to try vSphere PowerCLI. And it turns out I have more luck out there : )
Just simply connect the vCenter server, then list the folder names, use the move-vm to move the VM wherever you want them to be.
1) Connect-VIServer vcs-server-name -User jackie.chen -Password **********
2) Get-Folder
3) Move-VM -VM vm-name -Destination folder-name

Nice, i’ve looking for a while how to do this, it works!
Worked a Treat!!
Hi, if the folder is not unique it does not work!
Move-VM -VM mytest1 -Destination TEST
Move-VM : 7/23/2014 2:44:01 PM Move-VM The specified parameter ‘Destination’ expects a single value, but your name cr
iteria ‘TEST’ corresponds to multiple values.

You can use the folder ID instead
Great Tip ! Thank you
it only works if you don’t have folders with the same name on different branches…Managing VM and folder path in VMware is a mess.
