Is there a way for me to extract the names of my virtual machines and their folder names within virtual center? Any type of tools which do this? I would like to extract this to a excel document if possible.
Something like this?
Or did you mean the folder in which the VM is stored in?

I know it's prob not the best or supported way but the folder names are stored in the VPX_VM table in the VC database. You could run a simple select statement on that and copy into excel
Thanks,

Basically just looking to extract the "name of the virtual machine" and the "folder the virtual machine resides" under the template and folder view. Then extracting that information into excel.
Neil,
Are the names of the vm in that table as well?
Why not highlight your Datacenter and click on the Virtual Machine tab. Next go to File >Export->Export list. Choose Save as type Microsoft Excel.
