You can use the Get-VMHostAccount cmdlet to list user accounts in ESXi servers.

You can try

foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){
Get-VMHostAccount -VMHost $esx |
Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},Uid,Id,Name,Description
}

My mistake, try something like this

$user = "root" 
$pswd = "password"
 
Get-VMHost  | %{
  $esx = Connect-VIServer $_.Name -User $user -Password $pswd
  Get-VMHostAccount -Server $esx |
  Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},@{N="Uid";E={$_.ExtensionData.Id}},Id,@{N="Name";E={$_.ExtensionData.FullName}}
  Disconnect-VIServer -Server $esx -Confirm:$false
}

Connect-VIServer 1.1.1.1
$esxihosts = Get-VMHost
foreach ($esxihost in $esxihosts)
{
$esxcli = get-esxcli -VMHost $esxihost
$account = $esxcli.system.account.list()
$account | Select @{N="Host";E={$esxihost.Name}},UserId | Export-csv -append -Path C:\temp\acc.csv -NoTypeInformation
}
