esxi config file edit

[Hiront]

Hi Expert

I want to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config using PowerCLI.

Could you advice me how to edit esxi local config file?

Have a look at Can we change -> SSH config value -> "permitrootlogin=yes" - via "Power CLI"??

Thank you for all the time.

I read that thread.

ESXi default ssh setting is challenge response.

So I think we don't can.

We use  Auto Deploy network boot.

But we use ssh script executed from vCenter to manage ESXi for operation in Company.

We need to change sshd_config file whenever we reboot ESXi.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you

Do you mean the response to host key challenge plink.exe is sending ?

That can be automated, see Alan's SSH PowerShell tricks with plink.exe post.
