In our environment we sometimes get stale SME snapshots that start with {.
So here is a little powershell script that will loop through all the filers and remove it.
[Code]
### Mail "constants"
$sendMailAs = "x"
$recipients = "X"
$subjectLine = "GUID LOG"
$mailMessage = "GUID Report The Attached Snapshots have been removed from the filers."
$smtpServer = "X"
$priority = "high"
### File Constants
$date = (get-date).toString('dd-MMM-yyyy_h-mm-ss')
$ext = ".log"
$outfile = "Exchange_GUID__" + $date + $ext
$delim = "`t"
Import-Module DataONTAP
$hostfile = "exchange.txt"
gc $hostFile |% {
$nacontroller = Connect-NaController $_
Get-NaVol | Get-NaSnapshot -SnapName "{*" | select TargetName,Name,Created,Total,CumulativeTotal | ft @{Expression={$nacontroller};Label="Filer name";Width=20},@{Expression={$_.TargetName};Label="Volume";Width=40},@{Expression={$_.Name};Label="Name";Width=40},@{Expression={$_.Created.ToShortDateString()};Label="Created";Width=12},@{Expression={ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $_.Total DataSize "0.0"};Label="Total";Width=10},@{Expression={ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $_.CumulativeTotal DataSize "0.0"};Label="Cumulative";Width=10} | Out-File -filepath $outfile -append
get-navol | get-nasnapshot -snapname "{*" | where-object {$_.busy -like "*false*"} | remove-nasnapshot -confirm:$false
}
## Send Email
Send-MailMessage -To $recipients -From $sendMailAs -Attachments $outfile -Subject $subjectLine -Body $mailMessage -Priority $priority -SmtpServer $smtpServer

Now, i'm not sure its the best way to do this, but it works. I wanted to ensure we weren't trying to delete busy snaps so I through in $_.busy -like "*false*". I tried -eq "false" but it wouldn't return anything which was confusing to me .
Now remember i'm very new to powershell so any criticism is welcome. I didn't know a good way to log in one line and then delete in another so, I had to run the cmdlet again. Any suggestions for imporvement are welcome.
