VMware PowerCLI

The implementation of the IContentCmdletProvider provider on the VimDatastore PSProvider would allow us to use the 'Content' cmdlets to/from files on a datastore.

For example:

1) To read a file

New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\'

Get-Content -Path ds:\MyVM\vmware.log

2) To create content 

New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\'

Set-Content -Path ds:\MyVM\MyNotest.txt -Value "Hallo World!"
