How to simplify and automate VMware ImageBuilder with the ESXi-Customizer-PS script

Hi all,

I published a new and improved version of my ESXi-Customizer-PS script. This PowerCLI script greatly simplifies and automates the process of creating fully patched and customized ESXi 5.x installation ISOs using the VMware PowerCLI ImageBuilder snapin.

Use cases:

  • Build fully patched installation ISOs from the VMware Online depot
  • Create customized installation ISOs with 3rd-party Offline bundles added
  • For HP hardware owners: Automatically add bundles from the HP Online depot
  • ...

Please refer to my blog post for a detailed tutorial and a download link! The -help screen of the script looks like this:
