The Managed Object Browser is disabled by default in vSphere 6.0 (2108405)

Is there anyway around this for scanning vSphere 6.0 Hosts?

I know I can enable it, but other than that are there alternatives for scanning hosts?

Yes, I'd agree that scanning via vCenter would be a feature I would love to see added.

To scan details of VMware hosts we need access to MOB. Scanning of host data from vCenter is on our wish-list and was requested by several other users as well, but because of the release of our helpdesk and other features this still is a small way down the road.

Instructions on how to scan a VMware host can be found in this KB article.
