  • 1.  How to change ESXI root password inside vCenter

    Posted Feb 29, 2024 11:29 AM

    Hey guys I have a single vCenter server with 3 hosts connected to it on lockdown mode.

    How can I periodically change the root password of each host straight from vcenter?
    I haven't seen the option or I might have missed it.

    Thanks in advance,

    Teo

    Create a hostprofile specific to change the root password then apply to the host in questioned

    You can check this one if powercli is an option.

    Not possible via vCenter but can be achieved via the SDDC Manager
