Cannot download the server-configure.bat file. Link appears to be broken?

disregard...

We did worry that browsers might block .bat files so if that was the problem please let me know.

Was just pointed out to me the error. We accidentally left in an internal link in the instructions PDF! We're getting the PDF updated.

The .bat file necessary is one of the attachments you can download from the Fling, and is only necessary for Windows vCenter installations.

Switching the vCenter Server Appliance 6.x to BASH Shell

shell.set --enabled true

Type shell and press Enter.
In the temporary BASH shell, run this command to permanently configure the default Shell to BASH for Root:

chsh -s /bin/bash root

Log out from the Appliance Shell.
Log in again for the changes to take effect.

after
rum /usr/local/bin/vsphere-client-config-ui configure --vc vcenter.mydomain.com --user root --start

Both vCenter (VSCA) and vSphereHTML, have Bash, as the default shell and are Time sync. During the process, I can see the "Unknown commands" I.e mkdir, bash and scp.

vhtml5:/etc/init.d/configui configure --start yes --user administrator@sso..amanet --vc

and

vhtml5:/etc/vmware/vsphere-client/config # /etc/init.d/configui configure --start yes --user administrator@sso.amanet --vc 10.aaa.bbb.ccc

Ignore my SOS above, pardon the pun, turns out I was trying the SSO password, not the vSphere's Physical Host root's password.

It's currently doing its magic.
