Hi Eric,

Try this approach:

$SI = Get-View $ServiceInstance

$OM = Get-View $SI.Content.Setting

1. Query the option:

$OM.QueryOptions('Disk.PathEvalTime')

1. Change the option:

$OM.UpdateOptions( ... )

Still working on the syntax of the UpdateOptions method

UPDATE: Ah, found it!

$newOption = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue

$newOption.Key = 'Disk.PathEvalTime'

$newOption.Value = 300

$OM.UpdateOptions($newOption)

Have a look at .

It shows how to change settings with values and those with check boxes.
