How can I get only the currentVersion from PowerCLI?

Question

I'm trying to obtain only the latest version number

For example: ESXi 6.0 Update 2

This is what I have done:

$esxitest = Get-VMHost esxitest.test.local | Get-VMHostLatestVersion

Write-Host "Version:" $esxitest

Answer 1

Expand the Version property of the returned object:

$esxitest = Get-VMHost esxitest.test.local |
            Get-VMHostLatestVersion |
            Select-Object -Expand Version
