Automation

I want to get current value of "isolation.tools.setInfo.disable" in VMX file for many VMs. Is there a way to script it? Thanks.

If the key is present in the VMX file, you can get it like this

foreach($vm in Get-VM){
	$vm.ExtensionData.Config.ExtraConfig | where{$_.Key -eq "isolation.tools.setinfo.disable"} | `
	Select @{N="Name";E={$vm.Name}},@{N="Value";E={$_.Value}}
}

Did you mean if the key is not there it will output nothing?

That is correct, but the script can be adapted to for example display "na" when the key is not present.

Get-VM | %{
	$option = $_.ExtensionData.Config.ExtraConfig | where{$_.Key -eq "isolation.tools.setinfo.disable"}
	$_ | Select @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}},@{N="Value";E={if($option){$option.Value}else{"na"}}}
}
