Use this Knowledge Script to generate an inventory of all hosts and virtual machines for the selected vSphere environment as well as configuration details for each host and virtual machine.
NOTE:
This script may take more than an hour to run on environments with more than 500 virtual machines.
This script may take significantly longer to run on a proxy agent versus a non-proxy agent.
