vSphere AutoDeploy Fails - License Error

If you have a valid license assigned to your Datacenter using Bulk Licensing and yet when you boot a blade using AutoDeploy you get an error "License not Available to perform the operation. The Evaluation Mode license assigned to Host machine.sub.domain.com has expired" boot your servers into the BIOS and set the clock to the right time. Trust me... just do it...

Coming Soon - New post on configuring AutoDeploy complete with custom driver install and host profiles. Also a quick and easy guide to installing and configuring vCM. Gonna be fun.
