+Old Script.
+
+Adding README.md for basic QA.
+
+## WHATIS
+
+This is very much intended for hybrid farms that use different types of virtualization servers.
+
+Script for my own personal use.
+
+Used to locate on which Virtualization Server a VM is currenlty running.
+
+Works for:
+
+- HyperV
+- VSPHere
+- SCVMM (SystemCenterVirtualMachineManager)
+
+For authentication if I recall correctly would try to use the current Windows User.
+
+## Files
+
+Scripts are located inside the folder `Testing`.
+
+Script to use:
+
+- with_middleware.ps1
+
+The other ps1 files are older versions so they are not very relevant tbh.
+
+### Config files
+
+#### Servers
+
+On each file can (should) list the Virtualization Servers that will be used to authenticate on.
+
+- hyperv_list.txt
+- vsphere_list.txt
+- scvmm_list.txt
+#### Desired VMs
+
+List of VMs.
+
+Very much a file on which you list the name of the VMs to locate.
+
+- hosts.txt
+
+#### Syntax
+
+Syntax for the txt files is very simple.
+
+Items should be "splitted" through detecting whitespaces and new lines.
+
+So if we have something like the following:
+
+```text
+entry1 entry2
+entry3
+```
+
+It should detect the following items:
+
+- entry1
+- entry2
+- entry3
+
+## How does it work.
+
+1. Loads files/values from the config files.
+2. Authenticates on all the servers you have listed with your windows user.
+3. Loads/Downloads all the VMs located on all the servers, yes, it takes a bit of time. Those items will be stored/kept on memory.
+4. Finds/locates form the list of "donloaded" vms, which server is hosting
+5. Returns the info in a simple 2-column-format (name | server).
+6. You can request more "VM locations". The VMs to find will be re-fetched from the `host.txt` file, so you can update such file, then request another location. Due the VM data from all the Virtualization Servers/Clusters been download/kept in memory, the responses will be fast.
