Listing Virtual machines and their IP address information

[Guv]

I need to do an IP audit of all our machines ,and as mostly we run virtual machines, I really need help with a script which gives me the list of virtual machines names, and their IP address and also possibly the additional IP's as well. Can someone please assist.

Also is there a script which can give the esx servers and their IP information as well.

Thanks

Have you tried the VI Client? You can export from there.

You can get a list from the DHCP server.

You can do a arp list (netstat -a) to give you a list of ALL the VM's.

You can log into the switch and get the MAC address starting with 00:50:56 and the corresponding IP.

Lots of ways you can do it..

Provided you run the VMware Tools on your guests you can use

Get-VM | Get-VMGuest | select VmName, IPAddress

This is a "raw" display, if you have specific output requirements let me know.

For the ESX IP information have a look at

will this include information on the additional Ip's for the Virtual Machines.

[Zsoldier]

Get-VM | Get-VMGuest | select VmName, @{N="IP Address(s)"; E={$_.IPAddress}}

With a slight modification, this will return more than one IP Address in a single column. Luc's method would return it as an object readable in RAW format, not so much so when exporting.
