HowTo - patch vmware esx…the easy way

During our VMware VI3 deployment I’ve been very impressed with Virtual Center. I was however very surprised to not find a patching or update mechanism that is so ancient. One must run commands from the console to query what patches are installed and maintain their own local patch repository if they have more than one esx servers and require speedy patching. Crazy! Us windows admins have been point and clicking updates since Win2k!

VMTS came to my rescue..A patch program for ESX that utilizes Virtual Center. The program has been great so far and have erased a nightmare that is CLI patching. Besides…have you seen how many patches were released for 3.0.1? Give me a break!
