Export a Host Profile
You can export a profile to a file that is in the VMware profile format (.vpf).
When a host profile is exported, administrator and user profile passwords are not exported. This is a
security measure and stops passwords from being exported in plain text when the profile is exported. You
will be prompted to re-enter the values for the password after the profile is imported and the password is
applied to a host.
Procedure
1 Navigate to the Host Profile you want to export.
2 Right-click the profile and select Export Host Profile.
3 Select the location and type the name of the file to export the profile.
4 Click Save.
