EDIT: Reuploaded the PXE Package

What you need:
- tftpd32 ( http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ )
- UBCD 5.02 ( http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ )
- PXE Package ( https://mega.nz/#!4uxXyTCL!XrFyhuW5TnkdAomdtEWKZ-pbZnMXaiy0FjT_7mgcf1I )

We do start with the file preparations:

  • Preparing UBCD
    Unzip the ISO to an folder, lets choose C:\ubcd
    Unzip the PXE Package to C:\ubcd, so that pxelinux.0, memdisk, menu.c32 and the pxelinux.cfg Folder are within the root Folder of the ubcd

  • Setup up the tftpd32
    Easy as hell. Download, unzip.
    For example C:\tftpd32
    And now to the config.

But first basics tftp config:
- start tftpd32.exe in C:\tftpd32
- Server interfaces chose your NIC
- Press Settings

Settings:
Base Directory: C:\ubcd

Global Settings:

Tftp port 69
Local ports pool (nothing in here)

Advanced TFTPD Options:

Press Ok.

Go to the DHCP Server tab and enter following Details depending on your Network configuration:

IP Pool starting adress: Should be +1 of your NIC IP if you got no other PC in your network
Size of Pool: Choose yourself how many clients you want to get in there. I picked 20, get no problems with leases…
Boot File: pxelinux.0
Rest: Set it appopriate to your network – and Press the big long “SAVE” Button!

[Player 3.0] VMware Player Network Config

To configure network you need the "Virtual Network Editor" Tool. It IS integrated within the Installer - but isn't unpacked (sadly). To get the vmnetcfg.exe you need to do following: Launch the installer with /e parameter: VMware-player-3.0.0-197124.exe /e .\extract. With this command, the complete install gets "unzipped" into the "extract" folder. Within this folder you will find the network.cab. And in this file, you find the vmnetcfg.exe. Copy it to the Program Files\VMware\VMware Player Folder.  Run the Program as Administrator.

And to add multiple bridged interfaces, do configure an interface in the VMware File vmx with following:

ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet"
ethernet0.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
ethernet0.vnet = "/dev/vmnet0"

[ESXi 3.5] ESXi 3.5 Update 5 Install CD with oem.tgz + ssh,ftp,rsync and wget (made easy)!

Hello,

It has been a while since I was really doing something new with VMWare, but as I had the need to install some new Servers, I also was looking for better ways on integrating oem.tgz and other features. For that, I stumbled upon an very cool and useful Linux Build Script for ESXi, made by the User Varazir. After this How To you're going to hold an ISO Installer with SSH, FTP, RSYNC, WGET and the Community Unified Driver Pack 1.1.0 oem.tgz in your Hands. Or an USB Stick with the same features - as Live Boot or Installer. Your choice.

Download:
VMware-VMvisor-InstallerCD-3.5.0_Update_5-207095.i386.iso: Vmware.com / ESXi 3.5 Download Section
Mkesxiiso.sh: http://varazir.mine.nu/esxi/
CommunityUnifiedDriverPack_v1.1.0_U3-123629.oem.gz: http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/Custom_oem.tgz/CommunityUnifiedDriverPack_v1.1.0_U3-123629.oem.gz

What you also need:
An english (!) speaking and recent Ubuntu Version with installed mkisofs.
You can use the VMWare Player for that ;-).

How To:
Copy all the files into the /tmp Folder of the Ubuntu Installation.
Rename the CommunityUnifiedDriverPack_v1.1.0_U3-123629.oem.gz to oem.tgz
Give chmod +x to the latest Mkesxiiso.sh (in my case: chmod +x mkesxiaio_3.9.1.sh).
Run sudo ./mkesxiaio_3.9.1.sh
Now the Script is going to walk you through the build of the ESXi System.

Thanks to Varazir and www.vm-help.com its finally very easy to build an custom system!

Addition: Add User to installed ESXi:
If you got an installed ESXi 3.5 and want to have an second User to use ssh and ftp instead of "root only", do this:
userdelete the old additional VMWare User you created. Create it a new with: useradd Username -M -d /
Wit that command you create the new user and put its root folder into "/" (root).
Problem why an normal user can't access ssh is, that VMWare does erase the home Folder on every boot.
You should also change the User Password on creation with passwd Username...
