What's happened?
VMware ESXi 6.5.0 & 6.7.0 went End of Life on October 15, 2022. In a recent publication by Lansweeper they identified over 45,000 ESXi Servers running out of support versions. This data came from a snapshot in September 2022 consisting of 79,000 ESXi Servers across +6000 different organisations.
The snapshot data can be seen here:
Am I affected?
If you are running any ESXi versions within your organisation released prior to version 7.x then yes, you are more than likely affected.
What can we do?
VMware recommend upgrading to version 7.x as soon as possible to get your environment back into support.
