Quick Tip - vCenter Server Advanced Settings Reference

08.13.2024 by William Lam // 1 Comment

Simliar to my ESXi Advanced and Kernel Settings reference, I was recently asked about creating one for vCenter Server to capture all the default out of the box advanced settings.

With some automation in place, I deployed all major releases of the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) from 6.7 to 8.0 which is available in this repo: https://github.com/lamw/vc-advanced-settings


For those interested, here is the one-liner PowerCLI code to retrieve all vCenter Server advanced settings:

Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity ($global:DefaultVIServer)

Categories // vSphere 7.0, vSphere 8.0 Tags // vcenter server appliance, vSphere 6.7, vSphere 7.0, vSphere 8.0
