Hey Folks,

I've had a quick look through the toolkit information, and done some googling, and I can't seem to see if it's possible to set the guest IP address on a guest that has the VMWare tools running, is this possible?

Thanks,
Patrick

There is no cmdlet in the current release of the VITK to do that.
And with the OSCustomizationSpec cmdlets the IP address change is left out.

There is a documented alternative, based on a SDK method, in the VITK FAQ.
See Managing VMware with PowerShell FAQ.
