 ## Importing
 
 An existing host can be [imported][docs-import] into this resource by supplying
-the host's ID. An example is below:
+the host's ID.
 
 [docs-import]: /docs/import/index.html
 
+Obtain the host's ID using the data source. For example:
+
+```hcl
+data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" {
+  name = "dc-01"
+}
+
+data "vsphere_host" "host" {
+  name          = "esx-01.example.com"
+  datacenter_id = data.vsphere_datacenter.datacenter.id
+}
+
+output "host_id" {
+  value = data.vsphere_host.host.id
+}
+```
+
+Next, create a resource configuration, For example:
+
+```hcl
+data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" {
+  name = "dc-01"
+}
+
+data "vsphere_host_thumbprint" "thumbprint" {
+  address = "esx-01.example.com"
+  insecure = true
+}
+
+resource "vsphere_host" "esx-01" {
+  hostname   = "esx-01.example.com"
+  username   = "root"
+  password   = "password"
+  thumbprint = data.vsphere_host_thumbprint.thumbprint.id
+  datacenter = data.vsphere_datacenter.datacenter.id
+}
+```
+
+~> **NOTE:** When you import hosts, all managed settings are returned. Ensure all settings are set correctly in resource. For example:
+
+```hcl
+resource "vsphere_host" "esx-01" {
+  hostname   = "esx-01.example.com"
+  username   = "root"
+  password   = "password"
+  license    = "00000-00000-00000-00000-00000"
+  thumbprint = data.vsphere_host_thumbprint.thumbprint.id
+  cluster    = data.vsphere_compute_cluster.cluster.id
+  services {
+    ntpd {
+      enabled     = true
+      policy      = "on"
+      ntp_servers = ["pool.ntp.org"]
+    }
+}
 ```
+
+All information will be added to the Terraform state after import.
+
+```console
 terraform import vsphere_host.esx-01 host-123
 ```
 
-The above would import the host with ID `host-123`.
+The above would import the host `esx-01.example.com` with the host ID `host-123`.

-**Example**:
+**Examples**:
+
+Import a virtual machine resource named `foo` located in the `dc-01` datacenter.
 
 ```
 terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm /dc-01/vm/foo
 ```
 
-In this example, a virtual machine resource named `foo` located in the `dc-01` datacenter is imported.
+~> **NOTE:** The `vm` portion of the path is required by vSphere. If the virtual machine is located in a folder, the folder path needs to be included. This is because vSphere organizes virtual machines within a datacenter under the `vm` folder, and any additional folders created within the `vm` folder must be included in the path.
+
+If the virtual machine `foo` is in a folder named `bar`, the import command would be:
+
+```
+terraform import vsphere_virtual_machine.vm /dc-01/vm/bar/foo
+```
