change/force the acceptance level to CommunitySupported #39

How to change/ force the acceptance level to CommunitySupported, when using the ESXi-Customizer-PS script?

I want to create an ESXi 7 custom image with support for Intel I219 / I225 network adapter.

a) I downloaded the Community Networking Driver for ESXi. b) Ran the command .\ESXi-Customizer-PS-v2.8.1.ps1 -pkgDir C:\scripts\driver -ozip c) ESXi 7 custom image with the Community Networking Driver was created, but the acceptance level stayed PartnerSupported.

Or, is it possible to add the Community Networking Driver for ESXi to the V-Front Online Depot? The ESXi-Customizer-PS script then automatically changes the acceptance level to CommunitySupported.

what benefit do you get or what issues are you encountering that would require the need for CommunitySupported?

Will the Community Networking Driver for ESXi work if the acceptance level is not CommunitySupported? Community driver needs CommunitySupported acceptance level, or not?

I honestly cannot answer that question as it's not related to the script nor do I have a system that would leverage that driver to test on, but the driver can indeed be added to your image using the script. I used the following command:

.\ESXi-Customizer-PS.ps1 -v70 -sip -pkgDir .\pkg\ -outDir .\iso\ -nsc
