Chatroom Highlights:
Hal, can you turn your volume up just a little?
any progress on switching to a module instead of a snapin?
speaking of config management, any DSC support in the future?
Any chance of being able to set ntp settings on vmhosts through powercli connected only to vCenter?
why would someone use that instead of VMWare Orchestrator?
##off topic at the moment, but anything to share re: https://labs.vmware.com/flings/web-commander ? We roll our own ASP.NET/C# w/ PowerShell, but it doesn’t seem as lightweight for quick hits
Will there be NSX cmdlets?
to eliminate using host profiles
we’re definitely looking for what Jon is talking about
Get-Josh’s question about NSX cmdlets
PowerCLI for NSX?
has anyone mentioned how much they love having ExtensionData
Limitless
nipples
is the new Fantastic Four movie a reboot or continuation of the previous?
