Some of the links point to SourceForge, some to direct downloads. It would appear he's in the midst of migrating all his stuff to new locations, so some of the links may not be fully operational just yet. Nick,

Anyone know if there are any cached versions around. Thanks Nick Hi,

Apply the config at the cluster level (or possibly dc). When a host is added to a cluster, it will automatically inherit the settings (or policies if you prefer) for that specific cluster. Think group policy for ESX. I wrote an article a while ago covering the concept. http://scalethemind.com/2007/11/next-step-in-evolution-of-virtualcenter/ Andrew/Duncan,

We currently use Altiris to get ours similar, but there are times and certain areas that does not work. Having a template system, would allow use to pull a certain template based on area.

But I like your idea better. So, you could configure one ESX server the way you want it and then say "Export Settings" and then right-click on a new ESX server, or servers, and say "Import Settings" and have the template apply all the settings? Capitol idea! Duncan,

They should create a ESX-template plugin, with which you could create a template of all the default settings you would do on an esx host after installation. cool stuff indeed. it’s time VMware comes with these kind of plugins… They should create a ESX-template plugin, with which you could create a template of all the default settings you would do on an esx host after installation.
