Veeam RootAccess Wizard helps you enable or disable remote root access, or create a regular non-root user account which is not allowed by default on ESX Server. The newly created non-root user will belong to the default ‘users’ group and will be automatically granted remote ssh access. Su or sudo commands can then be used to elevate to the root account for privileged operations.
Note: To follow security best practices it is recommended to use a regular local account for remote ssh connections as it leaves an audit trail to help you track user activity.
How it works
To enable or disable remote ssh access RootAccess Wizard modifies ssh configuration file: PermitRootLogin yes – to enable remote access and PermitRootLogin no – to disable it.
Configuration Experts
There are two configuration wizards available to you in Veeam Root Access:
RootAccess Expert helps you to enable or disable remote root access.
AddUser Expert helps you create a user account with shell access on one or multiple ESX hosts simultaneously.

Take a look at NEW Veeam Reporter™ 4 — Enterprise reporting, change management and capacity planning for VMware.
Veeam Reporter helps you document configuration of your virtual infrastructure, with all the details about ESX hosts and VMs. Reporter is built to accommodate your particular reporting requirements. Reports are easily customizable and are generated automatically — eliminating labor-intensive, error-prone, and ineffective manual processes and the delays and constant rework associated with them. With Reporter, you get the information you need in minutes, not hours or days.
Reporter also captures the "who, what, where, when and how" of every change in your environment. With this audit data, you can improve change workflows and investigate problematic changes.
You can also speed problem resolution. When performance declines or a VM is no longer working, the first thing you need to know is "what changed?" Reporter provides instant visibility of changes that have occurred in your environment. So you can easily isolate the root cause of performance slowdowns and availability issues.
