Here is a script you can run on the ESXi host to add an annotation into multiple vmx files: SAVEIFS=$IFS IFS=$(echo -en "\\n\\b") for i in \`find /vmfs/volumes/ -name \*.vmx\` do echo Filename:$i echo Backing up VMX... cp $i $i.bak echo Backup complete... echo adding the annotation: echo "annotation = \\"<Fill the annotation text here without the angle braces>\\"" >> $i echo Update done... read -p "Hit any key to continue....
