Is there a way I can output a list of required host updates, those reported after performing a scan, to a CSV file.
Can I perform the scan from VI toolkit and then save the list.
You can probably do this with the "PowerCLI toolkit for VUM 4.0 U1" that will be released within about two weeks. Check out this thread: VMware Communities: More VI4 VUM Automation Fun for more information.
If you would like to work with a preview version of the toolkit you can e-mail to sraghuram at vmware . com.
I have been playing with the pre-release version of the VIToolkit plug-in for UM, but I think it only works with version 4 Virtual Center. I may be mistaken, though
