Today i came across a post on Yellowbricks.com about the VIX API.
Duncan writes about how he was able to copy a file (vb script) from his labtop to all his VM’s in a single script, and then execute the script on all VM’s from the same script – and much much more.

This got me thinking, the possebilities are endless 😉
- Install MSI packages in your VM without the use of SMS.
- Start/stop services based om a script or other thinks.
- Copy a file to/from a VM to the host that executes the script – like config or log files.
- etc….
The VIX API run not only on ESX but also on Workstation and Server versions.
So now i just have to find the time to get cracking on some code…..
