"Network Discovery should run against either the vCenter or ESX/ESXi though today the Run Inventory portion run directly against the ESX/ESXi server. This is changing in the upcoming release in which we always go through vCenter first and then fall back to the ESX/ESXi directly when vCenter is not available or the ESX/ESXi host is orphaned."
Will this be the same for 7.1 ?? Currently I have to run inventory against each of our ESX 4.0 and 4.1 hosts directly, rather than go through vCentre. It would be much preferable if VMM inventory just ran against the vCentre, not least because I don't want to have to create userids on each of our (hundreds) of ESX hosts.
If this will be changed in a new release, can you say when this release will be out ??
