Host Profile extraction

[marklgray]

Hello everyone,

Looking to find a simple way to extract the settings from any given host profile and output to a document like an Excel spreadsheet.

Im looking to apply the hardening template from VMware for ESXi 8.x (or some of it) to our profiles but would like an overall view of the current settings on the current profile on the clusters. Im thinking someone with PowerCLI skills may have an answer :)

How do other admins out there do such a task?

Thanks all :)

I was looking for a way to extract Host Profile setting and found this:
Get-VMHostProfile -Name "profile01" | Export-VMHostProfile -path "$env:\Desktop\profile01.json"
You can change to a human readable format (plain text or csv) using NPP.

I was looking for a way to find how to extract information of a host profile then I found this
The data format is not human readable. you should change it in NotePad ++

Get-VMHostProfile -Name "profile01" | Export-VMHostProfile -FilePath "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\hostprofile.json"
