Hello All. I have a rather unusal situation. Normally IT staff we are constantly looking to extract more information from our technolgy. However, in this case, I'm tried to hide or remove it. I'm currently writing some basic PowerCLI scripts that makes a change, or more accurately "breaks" something in the vSphere environement. Once "broken" I have some administrators attempt to troubleshoot, idenitify and then fix the problem. Unforntuely, when some of thses scripts run, their tasks are recorded in the recent tasks pane at the bottom of the vSphere client. Also some of the tasks are pretty generic, some of the state exactly what is "broken" So I've been searching for a method to hide or remove those entries from plain sight from the admins that are troubleshooting
Some of the things I have tried is to change the view setting on the client to close the tasks pane. The problem is everytime the vSphere client is re-opened the task and events pane returns to the default view. I also tried to find a setting to reduce the time the task is listed but have not had any louck with that either. The only thing that comes close is to close the client, "break" it, and then restart the vCenter Service which is not an opitimal solution.
Does any have any ideas to mask, filter, or delete the tasks so the admin doesn't see them when troubleshooting the problem?
Thanks
John
