Configure vCenter 7 Profile from PowerShell GUI

While working on POC of new feature VMware vCenter Server 7 Profiles, as there is no GUI available to configure it. At the moment of writing it can be only consumed and configured with Rest APIs. Although Rest API can be configured from vCenter Server developer center > API explorer, but it is not that easy and user friendly to use it. So I thought on writing and giving graphical user inteface with PowerShell script to do the related profile Rest API operations. Making end user process easier.

You can execute the script with PowerShell and this GUI allows to do all vCenter Profile related tasks LIST, EXPORT, VALIDATE and IMPORT. With this you can ensure there is a Consistent configuration across all your vCenter Servers.

Below script can used on PowerShell directly to execute. To more details check VMware vCenter Server 7 Profiles.
