Here is a nice consolidation of all the scripts we've written for easier access and also check out our site at: http://engineering.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/

We'll be updating this page as new scripts are released and if there are any script/tool(s) that might be of use to the general community that does not already exists, please post in this thread and I'll take a look as time permits.
