Problem
My ESXi assessment completes, but with a lot of unknowns. How can I fix this?
Solution
This is generally caused by not following the requirements for an ESXi scan. Make sure you are following all the below requirements:
PowerShell installed
VMware.VimAutomation.Core module required as cmdlets for managing vSphere are needed
LanguageMode not configured to ConstrainedLanguage
PowerCLI 6.5.1+ installed
Assessed machine is a Microsoft Windows OS
Please ensure you have validated that you have PowerShell, the VMware.VimAutomation.Core module, PowerCLI 6.5.1+ installed, and the target machine is a Windows OS.
In the assessor-cli.log, search for Warning: VMware.VimAutomation.Core might not be imported, please check . If there is an occurrence, VMware.VimAutomation.Core module needs to be installed.
