  • 1.  Run ESXi bash command from PowerCLI

    Posted Nov 20, 2020 03:17 PM

    Is it possible to run a bash command from the PowerCLI rather than enabling the ESXi's SSH and using an application such as PuTTy?

    I need to run a command similar to "sed -i 's/current/new/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config" but I cannot enable SSH on each of the ESXi servers unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Thanks for any responses

    I'm afraid not.

    Note that you don't need to use putty anymore if you use the Posh-SSH module.

    Thank you for letting me know, I will look into Posh-SSH module because it may be helpfully for other things as well.
