Esx host service tag

[Kaz04]

I am trying to run a script to display certain info but cannot get the host service tag to display. I am getting all other info EXCEPT for service tag. Please see the below for what I have so far. Any help would be appreciated.

#make an entry in the array for each one

   foreach ($line in $list){

    $row = "" | select id, vmname , dnsname, model, manufacturer, servicetag, ipaddr, vmhostid, vmguestos, ostype, vmvcpu, vmpowerstate,vmgueststate, vmhostname, vmhostcpu, vmhostcore, vmhostthread, version, build, vc, dc, cluster, date

    $row.id = $line.id

    $row.vmname = $line.name

    $row.dnsname = $line.guest.hostname

    $row.model = $line.vmhost.model

    $row.manufacturer = $line.VMhost.Manufacturer

    $row.servicetag = $line.vmhost.ServiceTag

    $row.ipaddr = $line.guest.ipaddress[0]

    $row.vmhostid = $line.vmhostid

    $row.vmhostname = $line.vmhost

    $row.vmguestos = $line.guest.osfullname

What do you have in $list?

[Kaz04]

$list = Get-VM -Server $vc -Location $cluster | sort

[LucD · Accepted solution]

Try with this line

$row.servicetag = ($line.VMHost.ExtensionData.Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo  | where{$_.IdentifierType.Key -like "ServiceTag"}).IdentifierValue

Works like magic. Thank you so much

Thanks LucD! I've modified this for a one-liner for a quick command line run:

Get-View -ViewType HostSystem | Select Name, @{n="ServiceTag"; e={($_.Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo | ?{$_.IdentifierType.Key -eq "ServiceTag"}).IdentifierValue}} | sort name
