How to disable SSH an Shell Warning

We have enabled the ESXi Shell and SSH on our ESXi Hosts because we need that to start scripts with plink.

Now in the vSphere Client a warning appears, indicating that both settings were enabled. How can we disable this warning, because this is confusing and we can not see if a real problem occures.

regards

Gerald Werner

IMO, This cannot be disabled. They are there for good reason

ESXi shell and SSH shell are recommend only for emergency or troubleshooting scenarios.

VMware recommends using vMA or Powershell for your day to day administration

Rubek has the correct answer for vSphere 5; use the advanced settings.  For vSphere 4 the messages go away after a reboot or if you restart the management agents. (ref http://vcritical.com/2011/02/get-rid-of-those-esxi-tech-support-mode-warnings/ )
