vsphere 5.x: suppress SSH/ESXi warnings

with 5.x there are some kind of annoying host warnings regarding the ESXi Shell and SSH access being enabled on a host. while i don’t think people enable the ESXi Shell unless they really need to; i do imagine lots of people leave SSH access on 24/7 for remote management purposes.

i don’t like to see warnings when i feel like something is operating within normal parameters. luckily, this warning can be suppressed by going to the host Configuration tab->Advanced Settings->UserVars.SuppressShellWarning and enabling this setting with a “1”.
