We wanted to swap a new SAN for a customer and our distributor wanted us to run the Nimble Space Savings Estimator , to find out how big the device needed to be.  Unlike Dell with LiveOptics tool , you have to run this across EVERY virtual machine, and run it across all drives for it to scan. I wrote a tool we could use inside BatchPatch to run this .exe from a share across all VM’s

This needs to be run out of hours due to heavy scanning of disk
