The VMguy

The VI toolkit 1.5 was released.  Rather than retype the benefits, I’ll use the internal announcement from the development team:

"The VI Toolkit is a great automation tool and if you manage more than about 20 VMs or deploy VMs or ESX hosts on a regular basis you should check it out, it can really save you a lot of time and effort when you’re making updates across large numbers of objects. Some popular uses include things like cloning VMs 50 or 100 times and creating virtual switches across multiple ESX servers. The most exciting new feature is the ability to execute scripts inside the VM guest, made possible by our integration with the VIX library."

You can find the full announcement here .

If your are new to the toolkit you can find some launch videos to see what it can do here .
