Way to automate VCSA syslog and root account expiry?

[SamR01]

Is there a way to automate via API/PowerCLI the following:

Stop the VCSA root password from expiring

Populate the Syslog info accessible from within the appliance management page

 

Thanks in advance

You could look at the chage command, as documented by William in Administrator password expiration in new VCSA 5.5

Since the VCSA run the VMware Tools, and if SSH is enabled, you could look at Invoke-VMScript.

At the moment I do not know of any API that would allow that (syslog config)
