Hi. Just need a quick point cleared up. My workplace just hired a contractor to install some additional infrastructure (ESXi). Currently, we edit the VMabc.vmx files to incorporate the required keywords, per the hardening guide.
I spoke w/the contractor and he mentioned that the /etc/vmware/config could instead be modified and then we wouldn't have to perform the individual modifications. I've not heard of this before, so I'm simply wondering if this is valid and what, if any, are the PROs and CONs?
It would seem to me that one CON would be that all machines would pick up all of the same keywords and settings (not necessarily a bad thing), but in someinstances, that may not necessarily be the desired action.
Any/all viewpoints welcome.
Thanks.
