Re: List ssh settings with PowerCLI

julienvarela is correct, "on" represents "Start and stop with host".

Here is the summary of the policy field:

• on = Start and stop with host
• off = Start and stop manually
• automatic = Start automatically if any ports are open, and stop when all ports are closed

If you don't like the warding, on/off/automatic, you can try the following:

Get-VMHostService -VMHost $esxi | Where-Object {$_.Key -match "TSM-SSH|NTP"} | Select-Object @{N="Service";E={$_.Label}}, @{N="Policy";E={ switch ($_.Policy) { "off" { "Start and stop manually"} "on" { "Start and stop with host" } "automatic" { "Start automatically if any ports are open, and stop when all ports are closed" }}}}

Sample Output:

"Service","Policy"

"SSH","Start automatically if any ports are open, and stop when all ports are closed"

"NTP Daemon","Start and stop with host"

Hope this helps,

Steven.
