I've written a second function what works for the 3 variable option but, having two functions to do basically the same thing seems redundant and i suspect PowerCLI should be able to do this in one ? If the variable has been passed, only check those hosts, if it has not been passed, check all Hosts. I haven't been able to figure out how to change the "Get-VMHost -PipelineVariable esx | ForEach-Object" line so that it checks for the $ESXiHost variable. you can give 3 parameters (username, Password + Hostname) and it will check only that host (or list of hosts). you can give two parameters (username + password) and it will check all Hosts in a VC - you have this working already. 
Sorry to be revisiting a thread that's been marked as correct already but, this looks like a really handy bit of code and i was trying (without success) to modify it so that LogWrite "Authenticated host $vmhost using password 2"
LogWrite "Authenticated host $vmhost using password 1"Ĭonnect-VIServer $vmhost -User $username -Password $password2 $Conn = Connect-VIServer -Server $vmhost -User $username -Password $password1
$Logfile = "E:\Scripts\Authentication-Check\ScriptLog-Host-$Date.log" (I understand this is not the secure way to pass the password to variables, i will handle it later though) Also, looking for a better code to validate n (2,3,4 so on.) number of passwords possibly per host. Trying something like this but the code could validate only 2 passwords.
Need to validate at least 3 passwords on each of the host and log the status as we validate. We have esxi hosts with different root passwords spread across.
