POwerCLi script to update the current VMtools ISO within the ESXi locker?

Hello, Need some help with a script to update the current Windows & Linux VMtools ISO's in 300 6.7u3 ESXi hosts to address the VMtools 11.x-11.25 vulnerability listed in VMSA-2021-0013 

Anyone has done this before your help is appreciated.

Why would you update the ISO in place for each ESXi node, you can set up a repository on a shared Datastore.
And then update the UserVars.ProductLockerLocation advanced setting on each ESXi node to point to that datastore location.

Ivo just did a post on that concept.

Thanks Luc, that sounds like it would work. We received the direction to replace ESXi ISO from an SR we submitted yesterday. 

Ill go ahead and start looking to script an update to UserVars.ProductLockerLocation on each host.

 

Thanks Luc
