I'm currently using VMware 5.1 and looking for a method to keep snapshots that users create from becoming too old. Is there any tool inside of VMware that allows you to manage snapshots (or possibly a method to script this)?
Ideally I'd like to delete any snapshots that become over a month old automatically.

You can do this easily with powercli, as there is a 'remove-shapshot' cmdlet:
I put the
-Confirm
and-WhatIf
in there becauseRemove-Snapshot
could potentially do a lot of damage -- you want to make sure it's targeting the right snapshots before taking those parameters out.
