Lucd, can you please provide me with single script which address Openspl on multiple ESXi servers and to track the ESXi servers names on which the script did not perform the task (Note - All my ESXi servers have different credentials)

Hello Bean78,

I'm usually not like that, but a THANK YOU might be appropriate instead of always asking for immediate help!!

Did you connect to your vCenter server beforehand? Before you run the script, please issue the command "Connect-VIServer -Server YourvCenterName -User YourUsername". Then please execute the following commands to test what the problem is with you:

Sorry about, thankyou and excellent support for your guidance and your help. The script worked as expected.
