You can export a profile to a file that is in the VMware profile format (.vpf).
About this task
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
- Navigate to the Host Profile you want to export.
- Right-click the profile and select Export Host Profile.
- Select the location and type the name of the file to export the profile.
- Click Save.
