Upgrade VMware ESXi 3.5 to vSphere 4.1 Using Host Update Utility
Upgrade ESXi 3.5 to 4.1 summary:
- upgrade ESXi 3.5 to 4.0 Update 1
- upgrade ESXi 4.0 Update 1 to 4.1
- I cannot upgrade EXSi 3.5 to 4.1 directly using Host Update Utility
Upgrade procedure:
- Download “VMware vSphere Client and Host Update Utility 4.0 Update 1”. (VMware vSphere Client 4.1 download package does not include Host Update Utility)
- Install VMware vSphere Client and Host Update Utility 4.0 Update 1.
- Download “Upgrade package from ESXi Server 3.5 to ESXi Server 4.0 Update 1” ZIP package.
- Launch Host Update Utility 4.0 to upgrade ESXi Server 3.5 to 4.0 Update 1 with the ZIP package. This will upgrade ESXi to 4.0.0 build-208167.
- Then follow the instruction on “Upgrade vSphere ESXi from 4.0 to 4.1 Using vihostupdate”
Launch VBScript in a Logon Batch Script
An example of a batch file Logon script that launches a VBScript program is as follows:
@echo off
wscript %0\..\NetLogon.vbs
The "%0" in the batch file is interpreted by the command processor to be the name and path of the current file, which is the batch file itself. The string "%0\..\" then becomes the folder where the batch file is stored. The batch file above will launch the VBScript program NetLogon.vbs as long as it is saved in the NetLogon share with the batch file. This syntax is preferable to a UNC path, because it does not hard code the name of a Domain Controller. The syntax will work no matter which Domain Controller authenticates the user. The logon script will work no matter which Domain Controllers are available or where in the network the user logs on.
