In this series I am going to walk you through setting up the Ultimate Deployment Appliance (UDA) and VMware Workstation 6.5 to test Automated ESX Deployment Scripts (kickstart). The same principals that you will learn in this video also apply to using the UDA in a physical environment. The UDA is a very powerful appliance and I have found many uses for it. Using it as a medium to quickly and effectively test deployment scripts that I develop is just one.
Even in environments where the UDA is not allowed it can still be utilized. I regularly carry a 5 port gigabit switch which I can use to connect to my laptop to up to (4) servers to quickly deploy up to (4) ESX hosts at a time.
