Hi Buddhika01

You can select and changed columns you need it to show these attributes from vCenter

Another way from RVTools download it and connect to your vCenter

Thanks for the reply, I am looking for powerCLI command or a script to retrieve the above mentioned columns.

It does not require powerCLI

You can also retrieve the above columns of the two methods I mentioned to you

Good luck

Here you go

Connect-VIServer -Server "vcenter Name or IP address"

$Cluster= get-Cluster "Cluster Name"

$vms = $cluster |Get-VM

$output=""|Select Name, PowerState,CPU,Memory,InstalledOS,VMwareToolVersion,hardwareVersion

foreach($vm in $vms)

{

  $output.Name = $vm.Name

  $output.PowerState=$vm.PowerState

  $output.CPU= $vm.NumCPU

  $output.Memory= $vm.memoryGB

  $output.InstalledOS= ($vm|Get-view).Guest.GuestFullName

  $output.VMwareToolVersion= ($vm|Get-View).Guest.ToolsVersion

  $output.hardwareVersion=($vm|get-View).config.Version

  $output

  $output|Export-csv -Path C:\users\adm.jatin.purohit\desktop\VMReport.csv -Append -NoTypeInformation

}
