VMware vCenter Server 6.7 U1b Released

Almost exactly 3 months after VMware released vSphere 6.7 U1 an update for vCenter Server, version 6.7 U1b, had been released as of 2019-01-18.

This is a bug fix release and includes some critical fixes, including e.g:

•  If you remove a Virtual Machine (VM) folder from the inventory using the vSphere Client, formerly known as the HTML5 client, the action might actually delete all the VMs as well and not just the folder.
• Some of the configured vCenter Server user permissions might be deleted/removed when the vpxd service is restarted. You might see the following message: Reason: No reason given

Important:

Good to know is that you still can’t upgrade your vCenter Server 6.5 U2d & U2e to vCenter Server 6.7
