This logging option is available through the vSphere client when you select Edit Settings and then Options-Advanced-General. In that form there is a checkbox that allows you to enable/disable the virtual machine logging.

PowerCLI Book Update 2

February 24th, 2011 16 comments

What started of as a very hazy concept about a year ago, now became something very concrete.
Our PowerCLI book will be released from the Sybex warehouses on March 28th.

About a week later you should see it appearing in a store near you ;-) .

We set up a dedicated website  at http://powerclibook.com.

For now that site is read-only, but we will open up the forum soon, so you will be able to leave comments and ask questions concerning the book.

Small hint, on that site you will also find a number of links to pre-order the book!
