Sure, try this

$si = Get-View ServiceInstance
$vpxSettings = Get-View $si.Content.Setting
$vpxSettings.Setting | Select Key,Value | ft

Thank you LucD but am still a little confused on how to actually export that out to a csv or text file. I have tried Export-CSV as well as just piping to > "c:\text.txt" with horrible results. Is there a way to send off to a file I can report on?

[LucD · Accepted solution]

Replace the Format-Table cmdlet with an Export-Csv cmdlet.

Like this.

$si = Get-View ServiceInstance
$vpxSettings = Get-View $si.Content.Setting
$vpxSettings.Setting | Select Key,Value | Export-Csv "C:\vpxSettings.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
