i have inherited a vmware view environment and i am looking for some input on updating wsoftware on the individual vms.
my client says that they usually just update software on the vm itself and everything just works (users have admin rights)
from the info i have seen it is best to update the gold image and take a snapshot, then refresh the VM pool.
what are the pros/cons of updating direct on the vm vs. the base image? it seems to work for them/.
any guidance is appreciated?
thank you.
