Script to Export status of services running on all ESX Hosts

[sjoshi25]

Hello Everyone,

We want to export the status of all services running on all ESX Hosts for an audit. Is there a PowerCLI script to export this data in CSV for all ESX hosts from multiple vCenters.

Do you mean all the services returned by Get-VMHostService?

Yes the result returned by Get-VMHostService

You could do something like this.
It assumes the credentials for all vCenters are the same.

$vcNames = 'vc1','vc2','vc3'
Connect-VIServer -Server $vcNames -Credential $cred

Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService |
Select @{N='VMHost';E={$_.VMHost.Name}},Key,Running |
Export-Csv -Path .\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
