As you all know, patching an ESX host is not exactly fun. VMware has promised to deliver a better patching system in their new version (ESX 3.1 and VC 2.1). In the meantime, we have to make sure that our ESX hosts are patched. In this post, I will use an IIS repository to deploy ESX patches from a central server (well, its not a push but rather a pull technology).

Excellent, patching the ESX infrastructure is the cost of doing business, part of your due diligence and should be worked in a similar way to the Microsoft server patching, anything that can be done to aid this is a good thing, haven’t tried it myself so do test it first, check it’s right for your infrastructure before going live with it.
