Solved: best way to roll out 50 ESXi hosts

marshallmathers · ‎08-09-2018

hi we have 50 remote locations and are looking to send out 50 ESXi hosts to remote locations

What is my quickest way to get ESXi installed and configured.

They are all using local disk and version 6.x

Would it be using Auto Deploy?

Yes, Auto Deploy (with Stateful Installation) might be the best option

I suggest to use Auto Deploy with host profiles.
