Getting ESXi properties in keyvalue form

[TheVMinator]

Using esxcli I get get properties from ESXi in keyvalue form like this:

esxcli --formattter=keyvalue network firewall get

which returns the values in keyvalue format like this:

Firewall.defaultaction.string=DROP

I would like to try to get ALL of the ESXi properties on an ESXi host outputted in keyvalue format.

How can I do this with powercli?

Thanks!

You mean something like this ?

$esx = Get-VMHost -Name MyEsx

Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $esx |

Select Name,Value

OP probably wanted to have specific formatting:

get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $esx |select Name, Value |ForEach-Object{$_.Name +'='+$_.value}

BTW LucD, how do you format scripts so nicely?
