Hi,

I have similar question. I would like to get information with specific settings for all VMs and here I am able to do it, but I would like also get information about specific Custom Attribute and here I am failing. Could you please help me?

My current part of the code looks like following:

$VMInfo = "" | Select VMName,NICCount,IPAddress,MacAddress,NICType,NetworkName,GuestRunningOS,PowerState,ToolsVersion,ToolsStatus,ToolsRunningStatus,HWLevel,VMHost,CustomValue

         $VMInfo.VMName = $vmview.Name

         $VMInfo.NICCount = $vmview.Guest.Net.Count

         $VMInfo.IPAddress = [String]$getvm.Guest.IPAddress

         $VMInfo.MacAddress = [String]$nicmac

         $VMInfo.NICType = [String]$nictype

         $VMInfo.NetworkName = [String]$nicname

         $VMInfo.GuestRunningOS = $vmview.Guest.GuestFullname

         $VMInfo.PowerState = $getvm.PowerState

         $VMInfo.ToolsVersion = $vmview.Guest.ToolsVersion

         $VMInfo.ToolsStatus = $vmview.Guest.ToolsStatus

         $VMInfo.ToolsRunningStatus = $vmview.Guest.ToolsRunningStatus

         $VMInfo.HWLevel = $vmview.Config.Version

         $VMInfo.VMHost = $getvm.VMHost

         $VMInfo.CustomValue = $vmview.CustomValue.Value - > this one is not working

In VM Annotation in vCenter I have CustomAttibute named SLA. And entry this field I want to get for all VMs: Please see output from particular VM:

So interesting part is for me Key 502, but not sure how to correlate CustomValue, Key and AvailableFields to get output from SLA field.

I appreciate your help. Thx.
