The way it works:
The ESX 4.1 checker installs on
on a windows desktop. You then tell it which hosts to run the check
against. There is a web-based GUI that you are able to and view the
results. It's very simple.
It provides details “rule by
rule” indications of pass or fail. When issues are found, you are given an explanation and advice on remediation.
This can be used during
an audit to demonstrate IT compliance.
This does not install agents on the hosts or the virtual machines. The reports are logged on the machine that you’ve installed the compliance checker on.
Some things to do prior to installing the Checker:
1. Download the Java exe
2. Make sure you remember where you install it.
3. Know the ESX hosts IP, root username and password.
4. Run the tool.
Make sure you have this first!

Pay attention to the Checker Version you download. I downloaded the PCI checker for ESXi 4.1 VMware Hosts. When I tried to run it against a V5.0 host, it failed....
This is a great little tool to use. Be sure to check out VMware's vSphere Security Hardening Report Check Script.
This is the first time I've been to your website. Thanks for sharing more details.
