Get IP address and DNS for all VMs

Hey all,

Sorry in advance, but I'm terrible with scripting in general. I'm trying to get name, powerstate, IP address and DNS as it shows in vSphere into a CSV file. So far I have:

get-vm | select Name,PowerState,IPAddress,DNSAddress | cexport-csv c:\temp\vc5_austin_vm_list.csv

Obviously IP address and DNS address aren't the right syntax. Help?

Thanks in advance.

Try this to get hostname and cluster
get-vm | select name, Powerstate, @{N="IPAddress"; E={$_.Guest.IPAddress[0]}}, @{N="DnsName"; E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.Hostname}}, VMhost, @{N="Cluster"; E={$_.VMhost.Parent.Name}}

Thank you yosingh..Works Perfectly.

I have added datastore field also and works that also.

Can we able to append some more available fields like cpu, memory,disks & usage if possible in the same line.

Do you need to script it?

Can you just use RVtools and remove the fields you don't need?
