Get-VICredentialStoreItem

This cmdlet retrieves the credential store items that correspond to the filter criteria defined by the Host and User parameters. Both the Host and User parameters support wildcards. If none of the Host and User parameters are specified, all available credential store items are returned. If the Host and User parameters are specified without using wildcards, and no item is found, non-terminating errors are reported for the Host and User parameters. If no file is specified, items are retrieved from the default credential store file %APPDATA%\VMware\credstore\vicredentials.xml.
