Vmware update manager
Hello Experts
How do we know when new patches where released by VMware . do we need to check the website regularly or do we need to configure any email so that we will get triggered automatically when the patches were released?

If you set VMware in settings to check for updates, it will check for updates and let you know. That works.
If your Vmware installation is related to business usually the moto 'if it works don't fix it' is the 1st to consider...if its home/lab based then follow the advice from John
If you are using VMware Update Manager, it has a schedule which checks daily for updates.
you then need to create a baseline and attach to your ESXi hosts, and use the scan option to check they are up to date.

I'm sorry, John's answer is discussing VMware Workstation (and he does not even mention that product), this topic and Question is VMware Update Manager which is a component of VMware vSphere.
Very different product and off topic in this question and makes no sense, it's like the Author asking a question about Apples, and a Answer for Pears is given!
