We are experiencing an issue where our Host Profile fails in our ESXi 5.0 environment. One of the configuration settings is Advanced Configuration Option > Annotations.WelcomeMessage. We have it set to "Configure a fixed option", and have both fields populated with data. When I apply the Profile, I get the following message:
Failures Against Host Profile
Option Annotation.WelcomeMessage doesn't match the specified criteria
The strange part is when I do check the host, the Annotations.WelcomeMessage is filled in with the correct values. When I check the compliance on the profile again, it still shows as failure. Additionally, when I check the compliance against the reference host it does show as compliant. Any idea why this would happen?
