PowerCLI or VI toolkit or Powershell or what packages needed to run ps1 scripts
Q1:
to use of PowerCLI script (those *.ps1 such as the ones listed
in the links below), what must I install? PowerShell or PowerCLI
or VI Toolkit package & do I need to have vCentre or vSphere set
up? Pls provide me the links to download these packages (if I'm
running vSphere or vCentre 5). Are these packages installed
on the vSphere or vCentre or ESXi host or the individual
VMs?

What's the difference between vCentre & vSphere?

Do we place these ps1 scripts in the vCentre VM or
insides the ESXi host or ?

When I go to the url you provided ie
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/server/vsphere/automationtools/powercli
I clicked on the "Download" button on the top left corner
(see attached) but it brings me to another page.
Could you give me the exact url to download PowerCLI & PowerGUI ?
