As a fairly basic VMware user, I'm not even sure what I want to do is possible, but here goes.
I need to create 50 servers from a template. This is ESXi 6.7.0, and for some reason, they won't install vCenter Server. Creating the template and creating the VMs from the template isn't an issue (the VMware.VimAutomation.* and VMware.PowerCLI PowerShell modules make that easy), but what I'm trying to do now is find a way to set the IP addresses (static), masks, gateways, DNS and proxy settings for all of the newly created VMs, preferably using a PowerShell script although I'm open to learning/using another tool if that's easier or necessary. I really don't want to have to login to the VMware Remote Console on each of these machines to do basic setups if I can avoid it.
Anybody have any advice, scripts or other tools I can use to accomplish this?
