What do you mean by 'ESX host serial number' ? ESXi License key ? ESXi hardware serial number (i.e. the hardware manufacturers serial number) ?

BTW you may want to ask this over in the PowerCLI forum.

Get ESXi host of a VM:

$ESXi = (get-vm vm).VMHost

Get license key of ESXi host:

$ESXi | Select-Object -Property Name,LicenseKey

The serial number of my ProLiant here can be found here:

$ESXi.ExtensionData.Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo[3]

But I was told that this method to get the serial number is not reliable since different manufacturers may provide different info there.
