Have multiple fields in excel to compare and output results? Use vlookup in excel

--- Start of Rant ---

Let me tell you something. Sometimes in IT you're stuck with an unenviable task of scripting mass changes to AD, you've got the starting point - the requirements and the objects that need to be changed, you have somehow managed to extract the data required to be changed. Now you need to eye-ball both spread sheets line by line to make sure you can produce the script that will update the required attributes.

It's not fun.

With this it will be fun:

Things to take note of before messing with vShield

vShield adds this line to each VM's .vmx file.

ethernet0.filter0.name = “vshield-dvfilter-module”
ethernet0.filter0.param1 = “uuid=52393e32-ee4f-4420-808d-dd2683015301.000″
