      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;just wondering....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Within Update Manager (5.0) I have created a Baseline group, containing a upgrade baseline, security patch baseline&amp;nbsp; and an extension baseline.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now I want to remediate our ESXi (4.1) hosts with this baseline group to do a complete upgrade using PowerCLI 5.0.1.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But it seems like there is no cmdlet to remediate a host with a "baseline group" only to separate baselines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Is this correct? Anyone got a solution to this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks and kind regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Harold&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;@hharold&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Afaik, the current Update Manager snapin doesn't support the concept of baseline groups.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And I'm afraid I have no solution or bypass for this problem.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Luc,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the answer, that was what I was afraid for.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I think for now, I will try whether I can remediate against the separate baseline one by one, with the least amount of exiting/entering maintenance mode.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would really like to use the parallel remediation function to remediate multiple host at a time. That could save us a lot of time.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Harold&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
