Thanks for responding..!! Very helpful answer but unfortunately the output did not reveal anything further than what had been made availaible using the specific Identifier Values, i.e., Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo[0], [1], or [2]...  :disappointed_face:

 

I do however want to thank you for providing me with enough info to allow me to list all the Properties associated with a given Object!! I'm really somewhat of a novice when it comes to PowerCLI and have so far gotten by using scripts developed by others. I honestly did not know how to traverse vim assemblies to expand upon their individual Properties. I realize this is probably basic stuff so chalk this up to pure laziness perhaps or just me cutting corners as per usual.  :-o)

Incidentally, another method which allowed me to parse an Object’s relevant Properties was by using this:

 

{$_.hardware.systeminfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo | Select *}

 

Now back to the issue at hand. It looks as though the mystery still persists.  I quickly validated almost all of the objects within Summary, Hardware, Config and Config Manager vim assemblies and still can’t find the information I need using PowerCLI. Why is this?? Particularly since the Asset Tag is a valid field in vCenter with legitimate data??? Is there a limitation as to what PowerCLI can extrapolate?

Thx. Ron
