Thanks! This is great one instead of reading tons of words in some of the other doc.
Awesome document! I wish I had found it earlier. Is it possible to subscribe and be notified when the document is updated? Do you want or need any help with the last few docs? I’m trying to remember topics that I noticed on the test that weren’t in the document in case I didn’t pass. I’m debating on switching back over to finish up MS cert or waiting until I get VCP4 results.
Hi Rob,
I always make a short blog comment when I update any of my documents. Just subscribe to the RSS feed, and you’ll get the notifications.
Best of luck with VCP4, I’ve not been offered the beta exam so I to wait a while.
Where did you find the Patch Management Guide that you referred to in your document?
All the documentation I use can be found here:

The patch management one is under àdditional resources`
This is a great document, it came handy as I deployed 32 ESX vSphere4 Hosts from a Boot from SAN design. This really help me understand the new features as a result my deployment
Helpful info. Lucky me I found your site accidentally, and I’m shocked why this accident did not happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
