Hi,

starting the installation with PXE boot is described in the vSphere Installation and Setup Guide

Take a look at it to find out if it is sophisticated enough for you.

Hi, Im looking for some simple to use solution. Not typing syntax in command line. You know for admins to use it in easy way. 🙂

Hope you have looked at already, but still, suggesting have you looked at host profiles and auto-deploy ?http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/VMW-Host-Profiles-Tech-Overview.pdf
