Confirm the "Connect At Power On" setting for ALL interfaces on ALL Virtual Machines?

I'd like to confirm the "Connect At Power On" settings for ALL interfaces on ALL Virtual Machines. Is this possible in ESX 6.7.0 without manually going through each VM?

Thanks for your suggestions,

I would use PowerCLI to do this, you should be able to find example scripts online.

Scott is exactly right. You can do this with a 1-liner in PowerCli:

Get-Vm | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -StartConnected $true -confirm:$false

Note: This will set ALL adapters on ALL machines to this setting - you'll have to modify the filter to suit your needs.
