Download and Install VMware Infrastructure Remote CLI on a Windows
computer.
1
Download Infrastructure Remote CLI tools from VMware website:
vmware.com/go/remotecli/ .
Search for link to Download in section VMware Infrastructure Remote
CLI on the page.
2 Install the tools at the default location (for example, C:\Program
Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI
). Later steps assume the default
install path. If you change the install path, make changes accordingly in
the following steps.
3 Run following command in a command window:
Set path=%path%;"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote
CLI\Perl\bin"
Step 2: Creating the Multi-Certificate file
1 Create the combinecerts.bat DOS batch file.
2 Run the combinecerts.bat file:
combinecerts <userName> <password> <servers ip list file> <output
certificate file> [create|append]
userName:
user name with which to login to the ESXi server
password: password for user
servers ip list file: ASCII file with one IP Address on each line (see sample
file in document)
output certificate file :name of file that will contain all the certificates
create|append:
create
: causes the script to create a new output certificate file
append : causes the script to append new certificates to the output
certificate file. The default is
append , when this parameter is not
specified.
Use this batch file to import a single certificate from an ESXi server by
specifying only one IP address in servers IP list file and with create option.
