Hello,

From what do you want to get this information, and specifically which information? Are we talking from the Host, from the VM? Is this for ESX, VMware Server, ESXi, or Workstation?

Best regards,

I think he's talking about the vmx file no ?

Alan, if you move a VM, keep it's .vmx file in order to re-register it later with the same HW config.

If you want to export your ESX host info into an excel file, you can right click on it in VC, choose "export summary" and select xls format.
