Ah ha....

Now we are getting some were... Ok thats the first thing to be fixed...


Version 4 used Python 27 which is now basically outdated. So in ESX plugin version 5 we updated the whole probe process to now deploy python 3.x which resolves a boat load of probe install issues we delt with as older python was depreciating.


So lets get you on 5.0

Im sending you a PM with the latest download link

Make sure to restart the DBagent on Host. The plugin has some new items to load in.

Also you will need to redeploy all probes so they get new python builds.

All you need to do if anything is watch for probes to redeploy themselves to Python3.x If a probe seems to be stuck then all you should do is delete "any" c:\pythonXXX folders on that probe agent so it forces a reinstall of Python.

It also now updates the discovery script regularly so that things like that are picked up so yes this version is improved.
