virtual machines' time sync configuration from vmware tools

[nblr06]

I'm trying to achieve the 3 goals: acquire/enable/disable the "synchronize at startup and resume" and "synchronize time periodically" of vmware tools time sync for virtual machines, and the primary codes i utilized are shown below:

# Get all VMs 
$vms = Get-VM

$vmTimeSyncSettings = $vms | ForEach-Object {
    $vm = $_
    $tools = $vm.ExtensionData.Config.Tools
    [PSCustomObject]@{
        VMName                        = $vm.Name
        SyncTimeAtStartupAndResume    = $tools.SyncTimeWithHostAtPowerOnResume

        SyncTimeWithHost             = $tools.SyncTimeWithHost

        
    }
}

# Display the settings
$vmTimeSyncSettings | Format-Table -AutoSize

however, there's problem obtaining the result of "synchronize at startup and resume", which the output is blank.

did i use the wrong commands to get the information of time sync setting? or maybe powercli isn't a good way to do that?

Not sure where you got the property SyncTimeWithHostAtPowerOnResume from, but afaik that doesn't exist.
The ToolsConfigInfo object does have a syncTimeWithHostAllowed property.
