Go to SolutionHow to programmatically determine OMIVV version
How can I programmatically retrieve the version of OMIVV (OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter)?
This is how I would do it manually
1.Login to https://
2.From the left menu select APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
3.Version is displayed under APPLIANCE UPDATE
There is no url under the Appliance Management hyperlink. It is a javascript action.
I would rather not have to hack all the javascript and html to find the source of the information as this could easily change in a future release rendering this hack out of date.
There is no SNMP agent
You cannot SSH to OMI
I would like to write a script to gather this information on a regular basis as part of a state of my environment management report.
Thank you for the pointer. I incorrectly assumed there was a built in cmdlet, however there is not. I did find a function written by Jonathon Medd the host of the Get-Scripting podcast.

This did the trick for me. Thank you Josh.
For others be aware there are two entries returned of the OMI
PS> Get-vCenterPlugin | Where-Object { $_.Description -match "OpenManage" } | Select Description, Version
Description Version
----------- -------
OpenManage Integration 2.1.0.27
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter 2.1.0

Hi,
There is not a way from the plugin side to collect the version. You may be able to use other Vcenter methods to get the version. PowerCLI should be able to get a list or the specific version of the plugin with Get-vCenterPlugin command
