Using PowerCLI to Create a Local Scratch Partition

My company recently purchased some Dell Servers with ESXi installed to local SD cards.

We ordered the servers with a single 300gb HD in order to get the RAID controller, so we decided to use that drive to store a scratch partition.

In this video we take a look at some typical desktop configurations, their possible vulnerabilities and where we can reduce the chance of attack by employing some simple changes without impacting desktop performance with NSX.
