I have not tried setting this outside of my setup script, so I am not sure if it requires a reboot or not for the UI to pick up the change. One thing I have noticed is the UI is not tightly coupled to changes you make on the filesystem. It seems to query them at boot and store them in a local UI database.

At least that's what the ESXi client tells me... I also tried to check if changing the ntp.conf file would update the ntp config in the esxi client, but the client show no NTP servers....<br />Any advice on that?mr.whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864915115946421450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518653026062510734.post-62223236579346422302015-03-25T08:57:49.621-06:002015-03-25T08:57:49.621-06:00Is there a way to use ESXCLI to join a domain?
